11 spots10 speciesAug
01 · Overview
The best time to visit Ecuador is between June and September, when Galápagos wonders and Andean peaks bloom in dry, highland charm. With mild, dry conditions (15°C to 25°C), this season is perfect for spotting wildlife in the Galápagos, hiking the Andes, or exploring Quito’s historic center. The clear weather enhances outdoor adventures. For a quieter or more affordable visit, try May or early October, avoiding the wetter months.
