Ecuador
A country so redolent with history and architecture, the whole of Quito is an UNESCO World Heritage site. Then there’s equal parts gorgeous beaches, eminently trek-able mountain trails and several sail-worthy tributaries that merge into the colossal Amazon. Throw into the mix the largest density of volcanoes, both active and extinct. If you tire of all that, there is the the Galapagos Islands, still weaving its eco-magic of unbeatable wildlife viewing, both land and aquatic. Also, this is a country that passed a law in 2008 that all of nature has constitutional rights. Definitely one to tick off your list, again and again.

Peak Season Description:
These are the warmest and driest months to visit mainland Ecuador and the Galapagos. While the mainland will see throngs of tourists and hotel prices will rocket, the Galapagos will see fewer tourists because, despite the islands themselves being dry and sunny, the waters are very cold for snorkeling and diving.
Shoulder Season Description:
The festive season and many South American holidays make this a busy period as well, but the dry spell has come to an end and there will be afternoon showers. The Galapagos begins to ready itself for its very own peak season starting in December, as the waters become calmer and warm enough to snorkel and dive.
Low Season Description:
Mainland Ecuador sees a fair amount of rainfall, although hotels and operators are still open for business. The Galapagos enjoys its peak season in January and then gradually tapers off as the cold currents start up again from March onwards.
