Galapagos Weather Averages

There are two seasons: December to May is warm and wet and June to December is cool and dry. Annual rainfall in the lower regions is 2-4in (60-100mm) and the temperatures fluctuates somewhere between 69°-84°F/21°-29°C.

The Galapagos’s climate is influenced by marine currents. The sudden climatic transformation caused by El Niño may be harmful: as much as 45% of sea lions and marine iguanas could perish during this time.

The convergence of 3 major oceanic currents brings an amazing mixture of maritime life to Galapagos. Even being located in the equator, the Islands’ micro-climate is surprisingly dry. During the cold season, the Humboldt Current produces relatively cold water, that produces thermal inversions that impede rain fall.

At this time, a fine mist called “garua” is created as cool, humid air just above the sea water meets a superior level of air which is warmed by the hot sun.

‘El Niño’ is a a rare event that occurs around every 5-7 years. The south east trade winds slow its speed and cause the sea temperatures to elevate dramatically provoking stormy weather and rainfall.

Choosing a Galapagos Cruise

There Are Lots of factors to take in to consideration when choosing a Galapagos Cruise: Boat size: a smaller vessel provides a more romantic encounter while a bigger ship moves less in the water for those prone to sea sickness. A catamaran tends to offer you the advantages of both alternatives.

Price: you get what you pay for in the Galapagos in the kind of a more comfy boat and higher quality guides.

Sierra Negra Volcano: Hiking enthusiasts are sure to love the chance of the steep ascent to the rim of Sierra Negra Volcano. The increase up takes around two hours, with great vistas all around. Horse riding provides another perspective of the gorgeous location.

Alternatively, you can enjoy panoramic hiking through the lava rocks and look for whale-tip sharks in the oceans.

Urbina Bay – Sitting at the base of Alcedo Volcano, the land round Urbina Bay rose significantly in the 1950s, leading to much stranded aquatic lifestyle. Now, you can wander across patches of land that were once at the bottom of the sea, marveling at dried coral and shells. Snorkeling lets you explore the fascinating underwater world, spotting schools of colorful fish, rays, and turtles. Hawks fly overhead, and the sandy beaches are rife with the large leathery-looking property iguanas and, in the wet season, giant tortoises.

Vicente Roca Point: At the north of Isabela Island, Vicente Roca Point is a high spot for snorkeling and boating. The twin coves shelter a variety of unusual species, including sunfish, seahorses, and puffer fish.

Galapagos Facts

A bunch of wildlife, traffic can get up close and personal to some of the planet’s rarest animals. The convergence of three major oceanic currents allow an unbelievable mixture of marine life to Galapagos. The endemic Galapagos marine iguana is the only lizard to swim in the ocean. Darwin’s research in Galapagos resulted in the groundbreaking concept of The Evolution of Species.

In 1978 UNESCO nominated Galapagos since the first World Heritage site. The film Captain and Commander was filmed on the islands of Bartholomew and Santiago. The name ‘galapagos’, a classic Spanish term for ‘saddle’, was originally used by Bishop Tomas and his team to describe the giant tortoises but the name stuck. As a result of early presence of both English and Spanish inhabitants in Galapagos, the Islands now have both English and Spanish names.

Darwin sailed to Galapagos on board the HMS Beagle at September 1835, when he was 26 years old. Throughout the five weeks that he spent there, he went to collect plants, stones, insects and birds. He observed the odd life forms and their adaptations to the harsh atmosphere. He noticed that it had been possible to distinguish which island a tortoise came from by the shape of their shell. His most well-known research is of the numerous species of finches that prompted his groundbreaking concept The Origin of Species, published in 1859.
