When To Travel To Ecuador
The Best Time To Visit: July-August
- High Season: June – September
- Low Season: December – May
- April – June (Fall), July – August (Winter), September – October (Spring), November – March (Summer)
June to September is the peak season to visit Ecuador and at this time the crowds can be quite dense, particularly in major tourism cities and on the Galapagos Islands.
The shoulder season between October and November is a great time to visit when the weather is generally quite pleasant (aside from some showers) and the temperature is more mild (a little cool in the highlands). In the shoulder season you can also book most hotels without having to book too far in advance.

We visited Ecuador in February-March and it was a great time of year to visit as well. There weren’t too many crowds and yet we had great weather. This is also a good time of the year for diving and snorkelling in the Galapagos Islands.
