Discover Ecuador in the Dry Season

Ecuador enters one of its most traveler-friendly times of the year: the dry season. From the Galapagos to the Andes and the Amazon, weather conditions are more predictable, skies are clearer, and wildlife is in full view. For travel agents and tour planners, now is the ideal time to design high-value, seamless itineraries.

If you’re looking to offer clients unforgettable journeys that blend comfort, authenticity, and adventure, this is your cue: June to August is peak discovery season.

Why Travel in this Season?

Optimal Weather Across Regions

Rainfall decreases, particularly in the Andes, Amazon and Galapagos, making road and air transfers more reliable and outdoor excursions more enjoyable.

Stunning Wildlife Activity

In the Galapagos from blue-footed boobies to marine iguanas are especially active. Meanwhile, in the Amazon, lower water levels allow for deeper exploration by canoe, as well as clearer birdwatching and wildlife spotting such as the pink dolphins and giant otters.
