Venezuela is full of contrasts: Caribbean beaches and islands in the north, fertile river deltas in the center of the country, snow-covered high mountains in the northwest, savannahs with table mountains and the over 1,000-meter-high Angel Falls waterfall in the southeast, rainforest in the south.
Best time to visit: The dry and somewhat cooler months from December to April are the most pleasant.
