Although Ecuador is only a
small country, the climate can vary greatly from one region to another,
so an "Ecuador weather forecast" is not helpful.
You need to look up the weather in your specific Ecuador
destination for the time of year you will be visiting.
The weather in San Luis de
Pambil is warm all year round though the
temperature rises further in the summer. Eco-Friendly
Farmstays, one of CRACYP's ecotourism projects, offers an Ecuador weather calendar for an
idea of when to visit this region and the Ecuador
