Pick Ecuador 🇪🇨 if you're going in…

May, June, July, August, September

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

Pick Vietnam 🇻🇳 if you're going in…

February, March, October, November

Don't try the whole country in monsoon swing months (Sep–Oct) — coastal weather is unreliable.

Months where both are equally good: January, April, December.
