The peak seasons of Christmas, Easter and the August holiday period - when crowds of vacationing Venezuelans descend on the islands - are probably the worst time to visit. But never fear: the typically Caribbean climate is glorious year-round, with temperatures between 25°C (77°F) and 28°C (83°F), mitigated by evening breezes. The rainy period lasts from November to January, with rain falling mostly during the night. May, June and October are the quietest months.
Being a predominantly Catholic country, Venezuela celebrates Carnaval in February or March every year; if you want to experience maximum party action, head to Isla de Margarita. It's famous for its Carnaval festivities.
Isla de Margarita is renowned for its glorious weather, with bright sunny days all year, and balmy temperatures that hover, on average, between 25-28°C (77-82°F), cooled by evening breezes. It's dry most of the time, with brief rainy periods lasting from November to January, and July to August, when the rain falls mostly during the night.
