Weather
Ecuador's weather is famously unpredictable—one day can display the entire range of seasonal temperatures. The central valley is spring-like year round, whereas the Amazon Basin lowlands are consistently rainy. Between May and December, the beaches are dry and a bit cooler.
The Galapagos Islands have a highly variable climate, as does Ecuador's mainland. June to November sees the Garua season when the islands can be misty. January to March is the rainy season. Each month brings unique climate variations and wildlife viewing opportunities. Generally speaking, the best months to visit are April, May and November.
