The best time of year to visit Venezuela is from December to April, during the dry season. In the wet season, the heat can be suffocating and there can be lots of rainfall, making visits to the Amazon rainforest trickier than usual. The lowland areas, by contrast, experience little precipitation. You can therefore visit these places at any time of year.

The landscapes and scenery of the Roraima are worth the trip all by themselves. It's an absolutely wonderful region made up of unusually-shaped black rock formations and which can be explored via a five-day hike. That may seem a substantial undertaking, but this definitely is one of the world's most beautiful treks! To maximise the likelihood of having the weather on your side when you come here, visit during the dry season.
