There is no perfect time of year to to to Ecuador. The weather is so changeable over the course of the year that you can go at any time; it's just a question of luck! The country has two main seasons, a wet season and dry season, which vary according to region. The ocean currents around the Pacific coast and the Galapagos islands mean that they have similar climates: hot and humid from April to June, more agreeable from June to December. The Amazon is very humid all year round, whereas one can tour the Andes whenever one likes, the climate there being more bearable and the heat a little less tropical.

It was a fun day in Quito touring the equator and some churches. Great guide. Then off to the cloud forest - what a stunning resort! The best housekeeping EVER! Loved the hikes, but especially the river hike. That was very different from anything we’d ever done before. We didn’t see as much wildlife as we hoped, but still loved the place. I wish we could have laid over somewhere other than Quito before heading to the Galapagos, but we relaxed, and got ready for part two of our adventure. The Galapagos were amazing! Animals everywhere! The high point was the snorkel trip to Kicker Rock. We swam with turtles, sea lions, rays, sharks and a million fish. It was phenomenal. The next day we had a land tour to see the giant tortoises, but that guide wasn’t good. He should stick to Spanish-speaking groups. Loved the country. Loved the experience. Loved the way the trip was planned.

We really enjoyed Ecuador and hope to return! For me, hiking to the Cotopaxi refuge was the highlight and inspired me to return and hike to the summit. I would highly recommend Termas de Papallacta as our favorite hotel of the trip - the hot springs were incredible! We also really enjoyed driving through the Andes, meeting an indigenous tribe in the rain forest, and multiple other hiking excursions. I loved the nature in general within Ecuador, but of course the people - in particular our guide Fausto - were what truly made the trip a wonderful adventure!

The destination was beautiful & breathtaking. Our tour guides were knowledgeable, nice and very attentive. Even though we spent a short time in The Galápagos, our experience included everything I requested. The snorkeling was amazing, we saw lots & lots of exotic fish, a few sea lions, sting ray and other wonderful coral dwelling sea life. The giant tortoises were beautiful and a sight to behold. I have so many wonderful memories and experiences from this trip that I will never forget. Thank you Sofia!
