Could EL NIÑO 2027 Dramatically Change Galápagos?
If you’re planning to visit the Galápagos in 2027, El Niño could have a major effect on what you see. Some of the most dramatic wildlife changes ever recorded in the islands have happened during major El Niño events, but those changes aren’t always negative. Marine populations may decline sharply, while on land the islands can become intensely green and food can become abundant, allowing birds such as Darwin’s finches to breed repeatedly. I also look at the major El Niño events of 1982–83 and 1997–98, including the changes I witnessed firsthand. ________________________________________________________________________________ Planning a trip to the Galápagos Islands? 🏝️ Paul McFarling is a Galápagos guide and tour organiser with over 30 years of experience helping travellers explore the islands, wildlife, landscapes, and natural history of this extraordinary destination.
