January in Ecuador

Plenty of sun with short showers on the mainland and the Galápagos

In the Galápagos and along the coast, this is a showery but also sunny time of year, so a great time to be out on the beaches or the sun deck of a yacht. Bring plenty of sunblock and water with you on walks. The first week of January is peak season so plan well in advance for cruises. This is also the wet season in the Andes, with spring-like weather and some short sharp showers. In the Amazon, January is one of the drier months of the year: showers are likely most days, but they will be relatively short. Temperatures are very hot, easily reaching the low 30s.
