I have been told that the best time to visit Canaima and Angel Falls is during the rainy season which is apparently May to November. I guess this is because the water flow is impressive at this time. My question is will the rain negatively the rest of my trip to Venezuela, because we want to see cAracas and the beaches as well. Is there a happy medium between impressive Angel Falls and great weather too?

Angel Falls is definitely worthwhile seeing, but I would highly recommend you bypass visiting Caracas - Americans are highly targeted for crime, and it is a very dangerous place. I lived in Venezuela for over 20 years, and I know this. Please take this advice. Also, the rainy season is indeed between November and March, however, I would recommend going in the Spring around April/May when the water is still high but avoid rainy season. In the mountain jungles where Angel Falls is located, you would never be able to see anything but the clouds on the tepuis.

Please read the archived article at www.larsenoutdoors.com until International archives/South America for more info.

Interesting fact here: the Falls where named after American pilot Jimmie Angel who flew over them in 1933, and crashed nearby shortly afterwards. He then walked for 11 days downriver before publicising his find. His restored plane now sites outside the airport at Cuidad Bolivar.
