June is high for Quito.
June kicks off Quito's dry season — around 21°C/8°C (70°F/46°F), with much less rain (about 45mm), more sunshine, and the clearest mountain views of the year. This is the start of the prime travel window.
It's a great time for the volcanoes: Cotopaxi, the TelefériQo, and Quilotoa are far more likely to be clear, and day trips are more reliable. In the surrounding highlands, the Inti Raymi solstice festivals (most famous around Otavalo and Cotacachi) bring Indigenous music and celebration in late June.

Quito in June — Full Picture
June kicks off Quito's dry season — around 21°C/8°C (70°F/46°F), with much less rain (about 45mm), more sunshine, and the clearest mountain views of the year. This is the start of the prime travel window.
It's a great time for the volcanoes: Cotopaxi, the TelefériQo, and Quilotoa are far more likely to be clear, and day trips are more reliable. In the surrounding highlands, the Inti Raymi solstice festivals (most famous around Otavalo and Cotacachi) bring Indigenous music and celebration in late June.
Warm, sunny days give way to cool, clear nights, so keep layering. The drier air and big-sky views make June a standout for outdoor sightseeing.
Note: this is the busier, higher-demand season, so book hotels and Galápagos connections ahead. The altitude sun is at its strongest in the clear skies — be diligent with sunscreen, especially on the cable car and at high-altitude sites.
