Tailor-made holidays in Venezuela

Venezuela is probably best known as being the home of the highest waterfall in the world, the Angel Falls at 979 metres. It is also a place of incredible natural beauty with a long Caribbean coastline, snow-capped peaks of the Andes, the plains areas of the Llanos which are rich in wildlife and where table-topped mountains called ‘tepuis’ rise up dramatically from the plains.

When to Go

The dry season is from November until May although the country can be visited all year round.  As the falls are only accessible by water, the falls are generally inaccessible during these ‘dry season’ months.

The wet season is from June to October and is the best time to see the Angel Falls in all their glory. The wet season generally means short and sharp tropical downpours occur in the afternoons, though there is still plenty of sunshine to be had at this time of year as well.

The weeks around Christmas, Easter and in August are good times to avoid as the main sites to see can be crowded and prices go up a little. Generally speaking, Venezuela can be visited at any time of year and the daytime temperature is usually always around 28 – 30 degrees Celsius due to the fact that it is only just north of the Equator.
