Plan Your Luxury Trip to Ecuador

Planning a luxury adventure to Ecuador starts with knowing when and how to travel in comfort. Here’s what our travel specialists recommend when crafting your custom itinerary:

Best Time to Visit Ecuador

  • June-December: Enjoy the dry season, basking in clear skies and ideal for hiking, sightseeing, and cultural exploration.

  • March-May: This is the best time to explore the Galapagos, with famous sea turtle hatchings peaking in May.

Luxury Travel Tips for Visiting Ecuador

Quick Hits:

    • Pack for varied climates: between the cool Andes, steamy rainforests, and subtropical Galapagos, a raincoat and layering will bring security for any environment. 

    • Buy water bottles: Locals will never drink tap water unless it has been purified, so be aware when brushing your teeth and keep bottled water in your room. 

    • Be prepared for bugs: Bug spray is your friend when exploring the Amazon and Galapagos.  

    • Try local delicacies: Don’t miss fresh seafood on the coast or farm-to-table dining in the highlands.

    • Add flex days for spontaneity and rest.
