The truth is that in Ecuador you never know what the weather will be like despite what the forecast might say. Every region of Ecuador has its own microclimate and we are really blessed with one fortune: the sun! Rarely there are 2 days in a row when the sun doesn’t shine for at least a couple of hours in the morning.
We are right on the Equator, which means that we basically enjoy stable temperatures all year round.
There is more of a difference between day and night than between December and July. And even more between the jungle or the coast and the mountainous areas because it varies due to the altitude where you are.
Ecuador’s greatest advantage for traveling is its diversity. But this also means that the weather can vary greatly due to the altitudes.
It’s been said that “the most reliable feature about Ecuador’s climate is its unreliability!”
As the weather can vary greatly, you need extra warm clothing in layers, rain protection, sneakers, long pants. The owner and original biking dutchman usually says: “there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing”
