What is the best month to visit Ecuador
The quick answer is, “all year round!” Our country is located on the equator, and we have privileged weather. Temperatures don’t vary that much, so we can say any month of the year is a good time to visit Ecuador.
In general, in the Andes there are sunny mornings, windy afternoons and rainy nights. For the different types of weather, we recommend that you bring warm clothing. High temperatures can reach 26 °C, and low temperatures can reach 5 °C.
On the other hand, the Galapagos Islands have two seasons. From December to May, the warm and rainy season (31 °C – 21 °C), and from June to November, the cool and dry season (25 °C – 15 °C). In addition, if you are looking to see specific wildlife, we can recommend specific months and locations to increase your chances… For this and much more, we can say that the Galapagos never disappoints.
Last but not least, the Amazon rainforest also has two seasons: May to December: heavy rains; January to April: weaker rains. Throughout the year, average temperatures range from 28 °C maximum to 18 °C minimum.
