Weather

The climate of Ecuador is radically diverse for such a small country, and this diversity stems largely from changes in altitude throughout the country.

The climate of the coastal and rainforest areas is tropical, which means high temperatures and high humidity year round, although more rain can be expected from December to May. In the mountains, temperatures drop in direct proportion to increases in altitude, so be prepared for cooler weather when venturing to Quito.

The climate of the Galapagos Islands is consistent year round and is generally dry with an average temperature of 25ºC.
