Best time to visit

The best time to visit Camagüey is during the cooler, drier months from November to April. This period sees more comfortable temperatures and clearer skies, perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities. March and April are particularly scenic, with a plethora of local festivals adding vibrancy to your visit. The wet season, from May to October, brings higher humidity and frequent rain showers, though it is often less crowded, and you may find better hotel rates. However, be mindful of hurricane season from August to October.
