If you\u2019re looking to escape the harsh winters of the northern hemisphere, then the Gal\u00e1pagos<\/a> in January beckons. By then, these tropical islands have entered their warm and wet season, defined by higher temperatures, increased humidity, and brief rain showers. It\u2019s a great month to come if you enjoy water activities like swimming and snorkeling, plus, the rains are sparse enough not to disrupt other outdoor activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January is also a great month to visit the Gal\u00e1pagos’<\/a> resident wildlife, as the animals are more active during this time. These creatures are not only renowned for their biodiversity, but for the fact that they\u2019re not fearful of humans. This comes from existing for millions of years without human contact, which allows visitors to observe them up close (albeit respectfully). Here\u2019s everything else to consider if you\u2019re planning a grand Gal\u00e1pagos adventure in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
