is midden september een goede periode om fauna te spotten in het Amazonegebied en de Galapagos eilanden? Ik wil zeker toch veel dieren zien...en ik zag een review dat Galapagoseilanden voor enkelen een teleurstelling was!

Galapagos Island can be visited and is really magical all year round. Almost all animals are active throughout the whole year so anytime you arrive you can encounter a wide range of incredible species. You will see, between others: sea lions, marine and land iguanas, lava lizards, giant tortoises, green sea turtles, red- and blue-footed boobies, Galápagos penguins, flamingos, Darwin's finches, Galápagos hawks, etc etc. In Galápagos teh climate fluctuates between the cool, dry season with productive waters which fuel the marine ecosystems, and the hot, humid season with warm, nutrient-poor waters that lead to rains which fuel the terrestrial ecosystems. If you want to visit the island during September, please note that this is when many types of whales, dolphins, mantas, mobula rays and even whale sharks visit these protected waters. Weather conditions: · Galápagos high temperature in September: 76 degrees Fahrenheit (24 degrees Celsius) · Average Galápagos water temperature in September: 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) · Average Galápagos rainfall in September: 0.3 Inches (0.8 Centimeters) Wildlife: Albatross hatchlings are growing; many adults are returning to court and find mates for the first time. Large numbers of Galápagos tortoises are still grazing up in the highlands; the penguins continue to hunt in order to feed their young. Growing sea lion pups continue to be more active on land and in the water. Higher likelihood remains to see humpback mothers and calves in the archipelago. Marine iguanas are still grazing in the shallows on the abundant algal beds. Hope that helps

I got to know the famous Galapagos Island, and I was able to see a fauna very different from what I always appreciated in my life.

Excellent itinerary featuring the everyday Ecuador and not tourist spots. A fantastic guide, amazing accommodation and cultural experiences. A very expensive tour but worth every cent. Galapagos was the only disappointment.

Thanks to Signature Tours, I got to know the famous Galapagos Island, and I was able to see a fauna very different from what I always appreciated in my life. It was a daunting journey.
