Best time to travel through Colombia and Panama
Because Colombia is very close to the equator, weather conditions are pretty much the same throughout the year. This makes Colombia a travel destination you can visit all year round.Do you want to go whale watching, visit the Amazon or have a sunny and warm finish on the Caribbean coast? If you have specific requirements, there may well be a best travel time for your trip through Colombia. Below, we have listed the most important things regarding the best travel time in Colombia:
- For whale watching on the Pacific coast, travel best during the months of June and October, when humpback whales come close to the coast.
- The Caribbean coast can be visited all year round. Temperatures are the same all year round. Between December and March is the dry period when there is the least rainfall.
- The Amazon region, high mountain areas and the coffee region can be visited all year round.
Panama is good to visit all year round. Being close to the equator, it is almost always warm and has only two seasons. Each of the seasons has something special, in our opinion, and there is no period we would definitely advise against travelling. In a nutshell:
- The dry season runs from January to April;
- The rainy season is from May to December, however, don't be deterred from travelling during the rainy season as showers are usually limited to the afternoon only.
- Temperatures fluctuate between 25 and 30 degrees all year round.
