Best time to visit Ecuador:

Galapagos Islands: The islands can be visited year-round due to their consistent climate. However, two main seasons are observed: the warm and wet season from December to May, which brings warmer temperatures and occasional rain, and the cooler, drier season from June to November, known for its cooler waters and clearer skies.

Andes Highlands (Quito, Cuenca): These regions have a temperate climate. The dry season, from June to September, is often preferred for travel due to clearer skies and less rainfall. However, this period can get busy with tourists.

Amazon Rainforest: Similar to other regions, there are wet and dry seasons. The dry season, from June to November, can be better for hiking and wildlife observation due to reduced rainfall and lower water levels.

Pacific Coast: The coast experiences a wet and dry season as well. The dry season, from December to April, is warmer and sunnier, making it a popular time to visit beach destinations.
