Best time to visit Puerto Cabello:

Dry Season (December to April):

  • This period marks the dry season in most parts of Venezuela, making it an excellent time to visit popular destinations like Angel Falls, Los Roques, and the Andes.
  • The weather is generally sunny and dry, perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, beach trips, and wildlife spotting.
  • Carnival, celebrated in February or March, is a vibrant and culturally rich festival that takes place in many parts of the country.

Wet Season (May to November):

  • This period sees more rainfall and higher humidity levels, particularly in the northern coastal areas.
  • The wet season is ideal for visiting the southern regions like the Amazon Rainforest and Canaima National Park as the water levels rise, enhancing the beauty of waterfalls and rivers.
  • However, some areas may experience road closures or limited accessibility due to heavy rainfall and potential flooding.

Shoulder Seasons (April/May and October/November):

  • These transitional months between the wet and dry seasons can offer a balance between fewer crowds and reasonable weather conditions.
