Good to know about Ecuador

Best travel time for Ecuador & Galápagos

Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands can be visited year-round – each season has its own charm. The best travel time for the Ecuadorian mainland is between June and October: It is dry, clear, and ideal for tours in the Andes or the Amazon.

The Galápagos Islands can be experienced as a natural paradise all year round. From December to May, the sea is calmer and warmer – ideal for snorkeling. From June to November, sightings are particularly diverse, as many animals are more active.

Regions & Highlights

Ecuador delights with diversity in a small space: The Andes region with Quito, Otavalo, and Cotopaxi is ideal for nature lovers and culture enthusiasts. In the Amazon region, you will find dense rainforests and authentic jungle lodges.

Along the Pacific coast, you can experience colonial coastal towns and secluded beaches – a striking contrast to the vastness of the highlands. And of course: the Galápagos Islands – a unique ecosystem with giant tortoises, sea lions, blue-footed boobies, and marine iguanas.

We combine the highlights of Ecuador into a journey full of depth, variety, and personal discoveries.

Activities & Experiences

Whether hiking at a volcano, visiting traditional markets, or jungle adventures with nature guides – Ecuador is made for explorers. In Quito, you plunge into colonial history, while Baños offers adrenaline with rafting or ziplining.

On the Galápagos Islands, you will experience pure nature: snorkeling with sea lions, birdwatching on uninhabited islands, or relaxing on remote beaches – always accompanied by excellent nature guides and small expedition boats.
