December to May are warm, sunny days with some tropical afternoon downpours, the wet season is actually a good time for expeditions to the Galápagos Islands and beach adventures such as surfing, diving, snorkeling, etc.

High Season: June to September

These months are ideal to explore Ecuador though the temperature fluctuates a great deal from morning to night, and changes markedly as you gain altitude, this season is verdant and the highlands are full of life.
