Venezuela is a jewel tucked neatly away in the mysterious jungle that is South America. Venezuela's average temperature is 26-28 degrees Celsius, but there are four temperature zones in the country and the coolest temperatures can be found in the mountain ranges (10 degrees Celsius). The rainy season is from May to October while the dry season extends from December to April.

Venezuela, located in the northern coast of South America, has a very diverse geography. The mountainous regions are located in the north/northwest while the grass covered plains are on the northern border and the great forest areas are in the south/southeast.

The countries official language is Spanish (its South America people, no need to be so surprised).

Some of the most popular cities in South America include Caracas (the capital), Merida, Maracaibo, Ciudad Bolivar and Canaima. If you're in the mood for getting out of your hotel room and going to explore Venezuela's natural beauty, stop by La Gran Sabana, a hiking terrain that consists of mountains, plains, and wildlife that thrives only in Venezuela.

The city with perfect weather year round is Pico Bolivar, a cozy city that is the gateway to the Andes. Pico Bolivar is home to the highest point in the Andes Mountains, along with the world's highest and longest cable car, and offers hiking, climbing, waterfalls and a plentiful forest.

Keep the merriment going and visit Cuava del Guacharo, the country's largest cave, filled with freshwater rivers. If you want to connect with nature in a more relaxing manner, then La Isla Margarita is for you. It is an island that sits just north of the Venezuelan coastline and is a popular getaway for locals as well as tourists. The popular beach provides crisp blue water, breathtaking scenery, a vibrant nightlife, and even offers windsurfing and snorkeling.

The most popular tourist attractions in Venezuela are the Angel Falls. The Angel Falls are the world's highest waterfalls and are hidden deep within Venezuela's Canaima National Park. While visiting the falls, you will encounter dolphins, flowers, exotic animals, and everything a nature tourist desires.

Because it is important to keep your brain active, visiting the Museo Bolivariano in Caracas will benefit everyone who peeks inside. The most popular historic site in the country, the museum features collections of items and materials that are important to the country and are related to Venezuela's independence.

After a long day of tourism, there's nothing better than a hearty meal. Consisting of Italian, Spanish, African and French influences, Venezuelan food is flavorful and contains fish, shellfish, beans, corn and even bananas. Bon Appetite...oh, wait, that's French.
