Is the Galapagos islands a tropical rain forest?

Answer 1

NO! Most of the Galapagos Islands are deserts. They get rain only in the highlands of the large islands. The exception are strong El Niño years when it can rain in all parts of the islands. The rain, however is too infrequent to allow the growth of tropical rain forests. Instead most islands in the Galapagos have giant tree cactuses. Most tree species actually have not been able to cross the ocean (except for those introduced by humans).

Answer 2

Yes. it rains in the Galapagos Islands. There are Two Seasons in the Islands:

* The hot season from December to May when humidity is high and average temperatures are in the 80s F (26 - 30 C).

* And the dry season from June to November. There are occasional showers, but the days are generally hot and sunny.
