The Real Galapagos
From $1,885
Encompassing the Amazonian Rainforest, picture-perfect beaches and megadiversity, this country is an array of native beauty and scenic sights. The alluring charm of Ecuador makes most visitors yearn for round two.
The Ecuadorian culture is vibrant and full of life, blended with indigenous customs and European colonial influence. Ecuador’s population predominantly consists of mixed backgrounds which means you can experience entirely new micro-cultures between cities and villages. The country’s distinct architecture and artwork are a reflection of its heterogeneous community.
Surprisingly, the wet season (December - May) is considered the best time to visit if you want to relax on the beaches, as it’s a lot warmer throughout the day with few tropical rainfalls in the afternoons. April and May are exceptionally great months to visit, as the water is usually pristine off the Galapagos Islands. For those wanting to explore the Amazon, it's recommended you visit in the dry season (June - September).
