While some places on the Earth get covered with snow, the rest bask in the sunshine. In the latter case, Venezuela would be the ideal example as it is located in the tropics and, therefore, most of the country has tropical climate. Although there's a variation in temperature, the coastal zones have excellent climate from November to May. It's summer during these months in the lowlands and coastal region, while cities located at a higher altitude experience winters. Venezuela brims with natural beauty in November and December, thereby making these two months the peak season for tourist visits. Unless you actually explore Venezuela, you cannot fathom the beauty of the Angel Falls, the white sand of the Caribbean islands, and the Table Mountains. Those who are enthusiastic about touring Venezuela can refer to the travel guide presented here. Planning the Trip

• Plan your trip at least a month in advance and try to avail the package tours for cost-effective deals. Make an estimate of the expenses and opt for a package that would come under your budget.
• You will require warm garments if you are going to the higher altitudes for enjoying the winter snow.
• Pack your bag with cool and light clothes in order to bask in the long stretches of sand, overlooking the sea.
• Apart from these, you should get your visa, important documents ready, currency exchanged, and other such formalities and essentials in order.
• Venezuela is well-connected by road, rail, and air. Even if you have not opted for package tours, you won't be facing any difficulty to move from one place to another. You can also take boats to cover short routes.
