was here in March Weather experience:Excellent

Spent 2 weeks in the galapagos, one time a big shower but otherwise it was lovely. It didn't cool down tremendously then so it stayed nice, really a tropical shower. The water was great for swimming. After the rainstorm the water was a little less clear but other than that it was clear water.
