When Is the Best Time To Visit Venezuela?

The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Venezuela depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.

Tourist Season in Venezuela

Holidays & Events

The best time to visit Venezuela includes the dry season months of December through April. Most areas of the country experience warm and sunny weather, and the transient rains that occur do not complicate travel in any way. This is an ideal time for beachcombing, water sports and sightseeing. There are very good conditions for mountain trekking and climbing in the higher parts of the mountains.

When planning a trip in the off-season, during the rainy season from May to November, one must take into account the difficulties caused by increasing rainfall. There may be traffic problems, some areas due to local flooding and waterlogging may be inaccessible to tourists, many mountain trails are closed.

The holiday season on the coasts, the island of Margarita and the Los Roques archipelago lasts all year round.

For countries with a large geographical spread, the most visited places were taken into account and the data were averaged. For selected countries, seasonal holidays were also taken into account, as long as they significantly affect the tourist traffic in this period.

Nov

A rainy season that covers the entire country. Increasing rains come in the form of short, intense downpours combined with thunderstorms. This does not mean that it rains continuously, you can still expect a fair amount of sunshine. Landscapes become green and fresh, creating beautiful vistas. The rainy season in Venezuela, on the other hand, is the ideal time to visit Angel Falls, which is when the water level is high and you can admire it in all its glory.

Without worrying about the aura, you can also vacation on the coasts, the island of Margarita and the Los Roques archipelago, where the tourist season lasts all year round.

The dry season covering most areas in Venezuela. We can count on sunny, warm days and cloudless skies, and the occurrence of transient rainfall does not hinder rest. The season for beachcombing and diving is underway. The weather guarantees very good conditions for sailing, surfing or fishing. It is also an excellent time for sightseeing, trekking and climbing in the higher parts of the mountains.

This is the best time to visit the Los Llanos plains, when more animals congregate at watering holes and the grasslands are flooded during the rainy season.

When visiting Venezuela in February or March, take part in the carnival ("Easter Carnival"), one of the country's biggest events.
