If you wish to see a lush and unspoiled landscape, Venezuela is a must visit.

Venezuela’s Catatumbo river is famous for the Catatumbo lightning, as there are sometimes over 100,000 lightning strikes each night. If that isn’t fascinating enough, Mount Roraima, found in the Canaima National Park, was part of the inspiration for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic The Lost World.

Due to its geography Venezuela has a variable tropical climate.

Temperatures stay regionally consistent throughout the year. Most of the country has temperatures in the 20’s. The higher in Venezuela you go the cooler it is. Temperatures in the Andes often fall to 5 degrees.

The rainy season is from May to November. During this time low-lying regions are at a strong flooding risk. Though hurricanes are rare, the downpours from the hurricane season can cause disasters. Rain can come at anytime, even in the dry season. This is especially true for the mountainous areas.

 

While Venezuela is an often popular country to visit. There are some key items to consider. Political unrest is common in the region. Until the situation has resolved, consider avoiding travel to the region.

Travellers should avoid buses and the metro as crimes rates are very high. Don’t hire taxis on the street or use “libre” taxes as they pose a significant risk to travellers. Some drivers kidnap, rob, overcharge and more.

Many cars in the country, even rentals or taxis, do not have seat belts or child car seats. If you are driving while in Venezuela note that many drivers also do not follow the law. Traffic jams are frequent sites for armed motorcycle gangs. Tunnels are also prime spots for attacks. Road damage is not well-marked.

 

Venezuela’s Angel Falls is the tallest waterfall in the world at about 980 metres – 19 times as high as Niagara Falls. It is in Bolivar in the Canaima National Park. The sandstone tepuis of the waterfall was formed over 130 million years ago.

Angel Falls is named for American pilot Jimmy Angel who was stuck with his wife and two companions at the top of Auyantepui in 1937. Instead of gold after trekking for days they found the falls.

Local Indians call it “Kerekupai-Meru” in Pemom, or, “falls of the water to the deepest site”.

To see Angel Falls, visitors may travel by boat and/or by plane, and many often enjoy seeing double rainbows over it. Angel Falls is fuller from July to September due to rain.

 

Think ahead on what to pack by perusing these suggestions:

  • Light Clothing – Venezuela has a hot climate. Be sure to pack for the time of year and the activities you wish to do. Consider items such as sunscreen, light-weight clothing, and water-protective gear.
  • Insect Repellent – A variety of mosquito-borne diseases are present in Venezuela. Make sure you’re protected with quality repellent.
  • Copies of Travel Documents – Be sure to keep a copy of these items with you at all times while in Venezuela. Leave your originals in a safe place like hotel safe.

 

Canadian consular services can help travellers with many issues they may face including passport services. Once in Venezuela, the information for the Canadian Embassy is:

Altamira, Caracas 1060, Venezuela
