Best Time to Go
Please help! I am debating when to go on the Peru/Galapagos trip. I am a single traveler and am considering April or September. What are the advantages or disadvantages that I should consider? If you have been there at either of those times, I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

As far as the Galapagos, this is a fantastic time to go. The animals are mating: those blue footed boobies are dancing, the frigate birds are blowing up their chests, and we even got to see a couple of tortoises cavorting about! We did miss the waved albatross. I believe they arrive in April. The water is chillier, but, as Sue says (hi, Sue...we did that infamous riverboat tour that was cancelled halfway through...), the mid thigh wetsuits are great. The snorkeling is the best we've had anywhere!
They do a good job describing the highs and lows of each season and depending on what your priorities are, I found the article very helpful.
