Weather

Before visiting Ecuador, keep in mind that proper packing is essential. Weather is one of the Things About Ecuador You Should Know. Ecuador not only has two rainy and two dry seasons throughout the year but due to the tremendous terrain changes, you must be prepared for all types of weather. Leggings or outdoor pants, a couple of useful t-shirts with long and short sleeves, and a fleece jacket should all be included in your packing list. A rain poncho or travel umbrella is also recommended, although a swimsuit is required if you plan on visiting the coast.

Simply said, the weather in Ecuador is frequently unexpected, however, the dry season, which runs from December to February and then from July to September, should not catch you off guard. Ecuador is also on the equator, as its name suggests. That means the sun is really intense here, and you should always wear sunscreen, even if the weather is cloudy.
