Bookmark & shareThe 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.
Weather
