Venezuela's Angel Falls drops nearly 1km from Auyán-tepui in Canaima National Park, Los Roques scatters white-sand cays across a marine park, and the Andean Mérida cable car climbs to 4,765m.
Wet season with Angel Falls at peak flow, Canaima dugout-canoe approaches running, and the country at its greenest along the tepui country.
Dry season with Los Roques at peak diving and snorkelling visibility, but Angel Falls flow drops dramatically and may be a trickle by March.
Transition with Angel Falls flow rebuilding, Los Roques still excellent, and Mérida's Andean roads at their most pleasant before summer rains.
Hallaca-making seasons aside, Angel Falls comes back to life with the early rains, and Canaima's tepui flights have improved visibility.
