Tourist Season in Guyana
The best time to visit Guyana includes the dry season months from mid-January to April and from mid-August to mid-November. We can count on a large number of warm and sunny days, although rains are not avoided, but they are less frequent and less intense. The coasts guarantee favorable weather for beach lovers, good conditions also prevail in lowland and mountainous areas.

There may be traffic problems, and some areas may be inaccessible to tourists due to local flooding and closed mountain trails.
