November - April

By December, the llanos have fully transitioned into the dry season, with clearer skies and some cool breezes which makes the warm temperatures more pleasant. With very little rain, the ground grows parched and wildlife congregates at the limited watering holes, making them easier to spot. If you still wish to explore by boat, visit early on in this season when the water levels have dropped a little but not dried up.

95% of precipitation falls during these months, flooding the grassy plains. It is more difficult to navigate the submerged lowlands, although you can explore by boat. The climate is very hot and can feel uncomfortable with high humidity.
