Every year between June and October up to 3,000 humpback whales appear along Colombia’s western coast to give birth and nurse their young in the warm water. The best places to observe these magnificent mammals are Bahía Solano, El Valle and Nuquí in Chocó, and Bahía Málaga near Buenaventura. El Valle is a great base to organize a trip to the Utría National Park where you can observe whales from land. Tours can be arranged at The Humpback Turtle hostel in El Valle. Alternatively, stay at El Cantil Ecolodge Hotel in Nuquí where you can see whales jumping while having lunch.

Season

3 day tour that leaves you in San Pedro de de Atacama. Be prepared to rough it. The drivers don’t speak English and are quite lazy but if you get put with a fun group you’ll make lots of friends on this tour. You visit some pretty cool places over the 3 days (lakes, volcanos, geysers, reach 5,000 meters, the salt flats in Uyuni).

May-July and October-November. Typically you will find blue skies and agreeable temperatures, and fewer visitors. But there is no rules. It may rain, or not - and if you are very unlucky, the falls may be in very low flow conditions, which may cause them to lose part of their splendor.

March – May (Shoulder seasons accompanied by good temperatures and fewer tourists.)

Season
As the seasons in the Galápagos are split into cool and dry (June to November) and warm and wet (December to June), the best time to visit the Galápagos islands depends on what you want to see. Top tip: the warmer season is the best time to go to the Galápagos for diving as the sea is calmer and the underwater visibility is really good. https://www.responsibletravel.com/holidays/galapagos-islands/travel-guide/best-time-to-visit-the-galapagos

Conditions along the Amazon River in Peru divide into two seasons: a high water season from December through May and a low water season that lasts from June until November. Cruising the Amazon in either season promises rich rewards with breathtaking opportunities to view and photograph magnificent plant and animal life unlike anywhere else on earth.

It’s not just the vastness and depth of the Colca that make it so fantastical, it’s the shifts in its mood. There are more scenery changes along the river canyon's 100km passage than there are in most European countries.

Season
Although it is possible to visit the Colca Canyon any time of year, it's advisable to go between March and June when the condors are most active and the trails are in good condition. The rainy season ends in March, making it an ideal time to begin visiting.

One of the most popular walks in Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park. Pass through Hooker Valley and walk beside the Hooker River. 3 hrs.

Mueller Hut is one of the most spectacular destinations for a day hike or overnight trek in Aoraki Mount Cook National Park (and perhaps all of New Zealand). Reaching the hut is no simple walk in the park, demanding an ascent of over one thousand meters in just over five kilometers. They truly don’t come much steeper than this and that challenge is part of the trek’s appeal.
