FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Latin Trails offers special discounts for seniors, September and December, offer amazing wildlife opportunities a less busy time of the year

QUITO, EC – July 18, 2016 – Latin Trails (www.latintrails.com), Many people plan their vacations in July – August, school is out and the kids are available for that family vacation. A great time of the year to enjoy a family trip and all the bonding opportunities this brings.

So is July and August the best time for a once in a life time vacation?

It all depends on where you are going and who you travel with:

–          Family Trip For instance it is an excellent time to plan that multigenerational family gathering, bringing together Grandparents, Parents and Grandchildren – everybody has time off from school and work and most seasonal attractions are open. The downside… CROWDS, yes loads of people and lines with the added challenge airline and hotel rates are at their peak.

–          Retirement trip or Anniversary, getting away on that once in a lifetime trip to a unique destination like the Galapagos Islands, July and August may not be the best time… it is the peak season, why? School is out and although a nature destination, a great place to come with families. Of course Galapagos is never crowded and there are no lines, but rates are at their highest for airlines and hotels.

So when is the best time to visit Galapagos for Seniors?
 

SEPTEMBER  AND FIRST 2 WEEKS OF DECEMBER

This is the low season in the Islands, less crowds, more intimacy with nature and a good time to get a discounted cruise deal or hotel stay discount.

Is it a good time to visit the Islands?

The Galapagos Islands are part of the small country of Ecuador. As you may have guessed, it is located at the Equator line. This means similar weather year round. No big seasonal changes. Wildlife is very active and close encounters with animals are easy with less crowds.

Wildlife Activity in September

–          Sea birds are most active at their nesting sites, the Humboldt current brings nutrients and makes it the ideal time for hatchlings to survive.
–          Galapagos penguins are at their peak activity at Bartolome Island and other sites
–          Sea Lions are active and at their nosiest, barking everywhere. Males fight for control over harems.
–          The temperature is fresh and moderate
–          Chance to see whale sharks in the western side of the archipelago. Humpback whales migrate through the Islands

Wildlife Activity in Early December

–          Giant tortoise eggs start hatching
–          Green Sea turtles start their mating season
–          The Galapagos vegetation starts being green again, plants in the dry zone produce leaves
–          The First young Albatross start leaving their nest and fledge out to sea.
