Pick Brazil 🇧🇷 if you're going in…

January, February, March, December

Carnival prices triple — book accommodation 9+ months ahead or skip.

Pick Ecuador 🇪🇨 if you're going in…

Honestly, Brazil edges ahead in every month — but Ecuador is still rewarding if it's already on your list.

Galápagos cruises cost more than land-based hopping but reach far better sites.

Months where both are equally good: April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November.
