When to go

Venezuela appears on the map just above the equator. Even taking into account the recent anomalies, it has two well-defined climatic seasons: a drought that lasts from December to April and a rainy season that lasts the rest of the year. Preferably visit during the dry season and, if it's not a hassle, try to avoid the holiday periods for Venezuelans, such as Christmas and New Year's Eve, Carnival and Holy Week.
