Book cheap flights to Venezuela

Venezuela has a tropical climate with wet and dry seasons and mild temperatures mostly affected by altitude. The dry season lasts from late October to late April, with beautiful clear days and minimum rain. This is the peak season in the country, so expect many tourists to flock to cities like Caracas during these months. Embrace the Venezuelan atmosphere at Procession of the Holy Shepherdess celebrated in February. The wet season (May to September) has an abundance of rainfall, mostly at night. It is still a great time to visit as there will still be plenty of sunshine. Cheap flights to Venezuela are available during the wet season as well as discounted accommodation prices, and you will avoid the holiday crowd. Visit Angel Falls during the wet season, as the rains affords the water to be in full throttle.
