You are most definitely not in New York City!<\\\/p><p>For more information on communications in Galapagos read our Publication, <i>Nature Interpreter<\\\/i> on Medium.com.<\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What fees and taxes should I expect?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>The National Park Service charges $100 to each traveler arriving to the Galapagos Islands. \\u00a0The money goes towards conservation services. This fee must be paid in cash at the airport of arrival. Sometimes, but not always, your tour company will include this fee in the cost of your trip. Be sure to check on this before you leave. Upon departing for the U.S., a departure tax of $25.00 from Guayaquil and $48.40 from Quito will be charged.<\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How should I tip in Galapagos on a cruise ship or at a hotel?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"You might want to ask your travel agent or tour company about the tipping policy before leaving for Galapagos. \\u00a0On most cruise ships, cash tips are given separately to the crew and to the guide. Policies differ depending on the cruise line and, of course, the level of service and your personal preference. A good rule of thumb is to figure on $15\\\/day for the guide ($100 for a week long cruise) and another equal amount that the crew members will divide among themselves. Often additional tips are given to individual crew members for exceptional service.

Se quedaban unos d\u00edas o una semana, o incluso dos, y nunca desembarcaban para experimentar la cultura local excepto el d\u00eda designado por el crucero para ir a la Estaci\u00f3n Cient\u00edfica Charles Darwin en Santa Cruz o al Centro de Interpretaci\u00f3n\u00a0en San Crist\u00f3bal.\n\n\u00a1Esos d\u00edas pasaron! Ahora los turistas tienen la opci\u00f3n de navegar o quedarse en un hotel y seleccionar un itinerario en tierra. Cada vez m\u00e1s, los viajes terrestres son la modalidad de elecci\u00f3n. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9? Porque permite una experiencia cultural m\u00e1s rica. Los visitantes pueden conocer nuestro patrimonio cultural, visitar nuestros barrios, interactuar con comerciantes y otros galapague\u00f1os, comer en aut\u00e9nticos restaurantes y visitar centros culturales e incluso nuestras escuelas. Este es el nuevo modelo de viaje \u00e9tico y responsable.\n\nEn 2015, 224.755 turistas visitaron las Islas Gal\u00e1pagos seg\u00fan el Servicio de Parques Nacionales. De estos, m\u00e1s de la mitad se quedaron en un hotel en la ciudad en lugar de embarcarse en un crucero. Esto representa un aumento del 8% en los viajes terrestres en un per\u00edodo de un a\u00f1o. El tr\u00e1fico de embarcaciones a bordo disminuy\u00f3 un 3%. Esta tendencia contin\u00faa.\n\nHay muchas razones excelentes para esta tendencia. Por mencionar solo algunos:\n<ul>\n \t<li>A medida que los viajeros se vuelven m\u00e1s inteligentes y conscientes de sus responsabilidades ambientales, quieren dejar menos huella.<\/li>\n \t<li>Los viajes terrestres permiten a los visitantes personalizar el recorrido que desean. No est\u00e1n limitados por el itinerario establecido de un crucero.<\/li>\n \t<li>Es menos costoso quedarse en un hotel y hacer excursiones de un d\u00eda que pasar tiempo en un barco.<\/li>\n \t<li>Los viajeros pueden interactuar dentro de nuestras comunidades locales, experimentar nuestra cultura local y enriquecer nuestra cultura al compartir sus experiencias con nosotros.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nGal\u00e1pagos Eco Friendly se cre\u00f3 teniendo en cuenta el modelo de turismo terrestre.

Si bien estamos ubicados en el ecuador, a menudo no hace tanto calor como cabr\u00eda esperar. A veces las temperaturas son impredecibles. En las altitudes m\u00e1s altas del continente, particularmente en Quito, puede ser de 50\u00ba F. Al mismo tiempo, puede ser de 100\u00ba F en las Islas Gal\u00e1pagos. Plan para ambos extremos. Es m\u00e1s fr\u00edo con los mares m\u00e1s pesados \u200b\u200ben los meses de verano de junio, julio y agosto. Es m\u00e1s c\u00e1lido con los mares m\u00e1s tranquilos en enero, febrero y marzo. Todo esto se debe a las corrientes que recorren el Oc\u00e9ano Pac\u00edfico.

Es seco y fresco (nunca fr\u00edo) de junio a noviembre, con una neblina constante llamada \u201cgarua\u201d. En este per\u00edodo, la temperatura exterior promedio oscila entre 70 y 75 grados, y julio tiende a ser el mes m\u00e1s c\u00e1lido. La temperatura media del agua en este per\u00edodo oscila entre 70 y 73.\n\nEs m\u00e1s c\u00e1lido y h\u00famedo de diciembre a mayo. En estos meses, la temperatura exterior media oscila entre los 74 grados de diciembre y los 83 grados de marzo y abril. La temperatura media del agua en estos meses oscila entre los 74 y los 77 grados.\n\nDurante la temporada m\u00e1s fresca, el Oc\u00e9ano Pac\u00edfico tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 m\u00e1s fresco, pero en cualquier estaci\u00f3n la Reserva Marina de Gal\u00e1pagos est\u00e1 repleta de actividad. Ambos son excelentes momentos para visitar porque la vida vegetal, animal y marina cambia con las estaciones.

El aeropuerto de Guayaquil (GYE) recibe vuelos de las ciudades estadounidenses de Miami y Nueva York, las ciudades europeas de \u00c1msterdam y Madrid y las principales ciudades de Am\u00e9rica Central y del Sur. El aeropuerto de Quito (UIO) recibe vuelos de EE.

A menudo, su agente de viajes de cruceros tendr\u00e1 un hotel en mente para usted; verifique eso antes de hacer una reserva de hotel por separado. A principios de 2013, Quito inaugur\u00f3 un nuevo aeropuerto. El viejo aeropuerto estaba justo al lado de la ciudad. Ahora hay que conducir desde el aeropuerto hasta la ciudad si tiene planes de hacer turismo all\u00ed. Si tu hotel est\u00e1 en la ciudad, aseg\u00farate de dejar suficiente tiempo para regresar al aeropuerto para tomar tu vuelo a las islas.

Si eres una persona que prefiere las mangas largas y los pantalones largos, empaca algunos de cada uno. Puede enjuagarlos, pero los barcos no suelen tener servicio de lavander\u00eda. Otra cosa: si vas a ir a Gal\u00e1pagos en los c\u00e1lidos meses de invierno (fines de diciembre a principios de abril) empaca m\u00e1s que en los meses m\u00e1s fr\u00edos de verano porque tu ropa se mojar\u00e1 debido al calor y la humedad.<\/li>\n \t<li>Camisas ligeras de manga larga y manga corta.

For example, in exchange for maintaining our environment (land, sea and air) in as pristine a way as possible and for protecting our plant, animal and marine life, we limit land use, energy and water consumption and even the number of people and boats. If you find that your hotel room is a little smaller than expected, remember the land use and ownership limitations that bind us.

They would stay for a few days or a week, or even two, never disembarking to experience the local culture except on the day designated by the cruise to go to Charles Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz or The Interpretation Center\\u00a0on San Cristobal.\\n\\nThose days are gone! Now tourists have a choice of whether to cruise or to stay in a hotel and select a land-based itinerary. More and more, land travel is the modality of choice. Why? Because it allows for a richer cultural experience. Visitors can get to know our cultural heritage, visit our neighborhoods, interact with shop owners and other Galapague\\u00f1os, eat at authentic restaurants and visit cultural centers and even our schools. This is the new model for ethical and responsible travel.\\n\\nIn 2015, 224,755 tourists visited the Galapagos Islands according to the National Park Service. \\u00a0Of these more than half stayed in a hotel in town instead of setting off on a cruise ship. This represents an increase of 8% in land-based travel in a one year period. On-board vessel traffic was down 3%. This trend is continuing.\\n\\nThere are many excellent reasons for this trend. To mention just a few:\\n<ul>\\n \\t<li>As travelers become more savvy and aware of their environmental responsibilities, they want to leave less of a\\u00a0footprint.<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>Land-based travel allows visitors to customize the tour that they want. They are unconstrained by the set itinerary of a cruise ship.<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>It is less expensive to stay in a hotel and take day trips than to spend time on a boat.<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>Travelers get to interact within our local communities, experience our local culture and enrich our culture by sharing their experiences with us.<\\\/li>\\n<\\\/ul>\\nGalapagos Eco Friendly was created with the land-based tour model in mind.

While we are located on the equator, often it is not as hot as you might expect it to be. Sometimes the temperatures are unpredictable. In the higher altitudes on the mainland, particularly Quito, it may be 50\\u00ba F. \\u00a0At the same time, it may be 100\\u00ba F in the Galapagos Islands. Plan for both extremes. It is coldest with the heaviest seas in the summer months of June, July and August. \\u00a0It is warmest with the calmest seas in January, February and March. This is all due to the currents that run throughout the Pacific Ocean. To learn about the currents and how they effect our weather read our Publication, <i>Nature Interpreter<\\\/i> on Medium.com.\\n\\nHere in the Galapagos we have basically two seasons. It is dry and cool (never cold) from June through November, with a constant mist called \\u201cgarua.\\u201d In this period, the average outdoor temperature ranges from 70-75 degrees, with July tending to be the warmest month. The average water temperature in this period ranges from 70 to 73.\\n\\nIt is more warm and humid from December through May. In these months, the average outdoor temperature ranges from 74 in December to 83 degrees in March and April. The average water temperature in these months ranges from 74 to 77 degrees.\\n\\nDuring the cooler season, the Pacific Ocean is cooler as well, but at any season the Galapagos Marine Reserve is bustling with activity.

Guayaquil&#8217;s (GYE) airport receives flights from U.S. cities of Miami and New York, European cities of Amsterdam and Madrid, and major cities of Central and South America. Quito&#8217;s (UIO) airport receives flights from the U.S. via Atlanta, Houston, Miami, and New York; from Europe via Madrid and Amsterdam; and from many major cities in Central and Southern America.\\n\\nThere is a lot to do on the mainland in Ecuador before or after your Galapagos Island trip so you may want to plan your travel plans accordingly. Often, your cruise travel agent will have a hotel in mind for you; check that before making a separate hotel reservation. In early 2013, Quito opened a new airport. The old airport was right next to the city. Now there is a drive from the airport into the city if you have plans to go sight seeing there. If your hotel is in the city, make sure to leave plenty of time to return to the airport for your flight to the Islands. The traffic can be problematic.\\n\\nIf you are going on a boat trip, your tours generally will start on Saturday or Sunday (although recent changes allow mid-week itineraries as well). Of course, you might not be taking a boat trip at all or you might want to combine your cruise with some time in a hotel. At Galapagos Eco Friendly we will help you plan your day trips, customized to your special wants and desires.\\n\\nThere are daily early morning flights directly to the Galapagos Islands, either Baltra or Puerto Baquerizo Moreno on San Cristobal. Where you land will be determined by your Galapagos Island trip itinerary. TAME, AEROGAL and LAN airlines operate these routes.

Our list is comprehensive.\\n\\n<strong>There is a per person weight limit of 44 pounds (20 kg) of luggage to the Galapagos Islands.<\\\/strong>\\n\\nIf you are staying at a hotel in Quito or traveling outside of the Galapagos Islands, you may want to consider arranging to leave non-Galapagos items at your hotel. It\\u2019s a good idea to have a small extra bag to fold into your regular luggage for this purpose and to accommodate anything you might buy and accumulate during your trip.\\n\\n<strong>Clothing<\\\/strong>\\n\\nThere is only one underlying guideline for clothing: \\u00a0Think casual! For traveling in the Galapagos clothing ranges from informal to very informal. Here are our comprehensive packing suggestions for land and cruise tours:\\n<ul>\\n \\t<li>Sneakers or walking shoes for dry landings and hiking on sand, lava, boulders and volcanic rock and compacted ash. Having an ample amount of tread is important. On the cruise ships, usually walking sticks are also available to help you with your balance.<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>Waterproof shoes such as Tevas for wet landings on beaches. Shoes with toe protection are best because you also will use these on some of the rocky trails.<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>Sandals or other casual shoes for evening on the boat or in town, although some passengers never put shoes on when they are on a the boat. The shoes you wear on the island visitor sites may not be worn on the boat because of cross contamination, so do plan on bringing an extra pair.<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>Shorts for hiking and most wet landings. This is a subjective decision as some people like to avoid the sun completely by covering their legs as well. \\u00a0If you choose not to bring shorts, be sure that at least some of your long pants can roll up for when you do have a wet landing.<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>At least one pair of light-weight pants. Sometimes the hikes will take you to areas that are buggy and you may want to cover your legs. Or, you may simply want to wear long pants for sun protection. \\u00a0If you are a person who prefers long sleeves and long pants, pack a few of each. \\u00a0You can rinse them out, but the boats don&#8217;t tend to have laundry service. \\u00a0Another thing &#8211; if you are going to Galapagos in the warm winter months (late December &#8211; early April) pack more than you will in the cooler summer months because your clothes will get wet because of the heat and humidity.<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>Long sleeved and short sleeved lightweight shirts. Wicking shirts are the best. \\u00a0Many people pack only short sleeved shirts or tank tops and find that the sun on their arms is too much. It\\u2019s a good idea to prepare for this possibility.<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>Bathing suits \\u2013 some prefer two, one for swimming and one for under a wet suit.<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>A wide-brimmed hat; consider one with U.V. protection.<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>Wind breaker or light jacket for evenings and in case of rain.<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>Casual clothing for evenings, such as shorts and shirts, sundresses or anything comfortable. Also a wrap or sweater for the cooler evenings when you want to go outside to look at the stars!<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>Socks for your hiking shoes and sneakers and other personal items.<\\\/li>\\n<\\\/ul>\\n<strong>Other items on your packing list<\\\/strong>\\n<ul>\\n \\t<li>Sunscreen \\u2013 pack plenty and never go anywhere without it<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>Sunglasses<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>Insect repellant<\\\/li>\\n \\t<li>Lightweight daypack or backpack.

The culmination and physical manifestation of my dream is Galapagos Eco Friendly, a hotel located in the same gated private enclave as my family\u2019s home high on a hill overlooking the harbor of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno and the Pacific Ocean. Read More Responsible ecotourism has its basis in sharing the culture and natural wonders of the host country. We believe that there is no better way to promote and share our cultural heritage and the compelling living museum that is Galapagos than by opening\u00a0our land, our experiences and our way of life to guests from around the world. My steadfast\u00a0dedication to our planet, the environment and sustainability has its roots in my childhood and the changes throughout the Galapagos Islands\u00a0that I personally have experienced. I am committed\u00a0to preserving the uniqueness and integrity of these\u00a0islands and want those who visit Galapagos to\u00a0be immersed in the very same incomparable natural and physical environments\u00a0that always have existed for and inspired me. Harry Jimenez, Owner Galapagos Eco Friendly Explore More Green Adventure Galapagos Eco Friendly is our endeavor to create a hotel that focuses on preservation, conservation and responsible travel. This means to me that we have a twofold responsibility to you. There are two pillars to responsible ecotourism: cultural and environmental. First, we have the responsibility of providing you with a place to stay where you will be able to taste and appreciate our local culture and heritage, while sacrificing nothing of comfort or service. Our rooms are filled with locally made furnishings, respect the design d\u00e9cor of Galapagos and are decorated with photographs that I have taken on my personal journeys throughout the islands. Each morning my wife Lucrecia will serve you a hearty breakfast in our dining room at the top of the hill overlooking the harbor at Puerto Baquerizo Moreno and the Pacific Ocean. She will include local delicacies and locally-grown produce. Even our coffee comes from a coffee plantation on San Cristobal Island. \u00a0 Second, we must make your experience here one that will enhance your lives and provide you with opportunities for lasting memories and a new lively appreciation for the Galapagos Land and Marine Reserves. This is the land where Charles Darwin&#8217;s theory of evolution and survival of the fittest evolved. We will help you plan your days so that you can be immersed in a natural environment that evokes and preserves our vital and important natural history. Gal\u00e1pago Ecofriendly You\u2019re traveling to the Galapagos Islands! Be prepared because the Galapagos Islands are unique and special \u2013 unlike any other place on Earth. This post provides you with some of the practical information every traveler to the Galapagos Islands should know: the weather, what to pack, our currency, and other general information that will help you prepare to make your trip as seamless as possible. FAQ Answers to frequently asked questions about visiting the galapagos islands Do I need special electrical plugs or converters? In Ecuador we use 110 V electrical current; the same is used on-board the cruise ships. No special devices required. What is the situation with Internet and telephone? While on the Ecuadorian continent, there is full phone and cellular service, though you must check to see whether you can use your particular provider. Generally, it is most economical to use calling cards. Also, there are internet wifi cafes available. Once on the Galapagos Islands, internet service and even telephone is generally not available except in the ports of Puerto Villamel, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno and Santa Cruz, where you may have access from your cell phone with a calling card or from an internet cafe. One of the delights of being in Galapagos is removing yourself from the sound of the telephone and pull of the internet. \u00a0If you do need service, make arrangements at home with your carrier. \u00a0Many of the hotels, including Galapagos Eco Friendly, offer wifi service. If you must use wifi and internet, be prepared for delays. You are most definitely not in New York City! For more information on communications in Galapagos read our Publication, Nature Interpreter on Medium.com. What fees and taxes should I expect? The National Park Service charges $100 to each traveler arriving to the Galapagos Islands. \u00a0The money goes towards conservation services. This fee must be paid in cash at the airport of arrival. Sometimes, but not always, your tour company will include this fee in the cost of your trip. Be sure to check on this before you leave. Upon departing for the U.S., a departure tax of $25.00 from Guayaquil and $48.40 from Quito will be charged. How should I tip in Galapagos on a cruise ship or at a hotel? You might want to ask your travel agent or tour company about the tipping policy before leaving for Galapagos. \u00a0On most cruise ships, cash tips are given separately to the crew and to the guide. Policies differ depending on the cruise line and, of course, the level of service and your personal preference. A good rule of thumb is to figure on $15\/day for the guide ($100 for a week long cruise) and another equal amount that the crew members will divide among themselves. Often additional tips are given to individual crew members for exceptional service. For more comprehensive information about tipping read our Publication, Nature Interpreter on Medium.com. Will there be other expenses that I might not anticipate? On land, your additional expenses will be for day trips, meals, incidentals and, of course, your souvenirs. As for boats, policies differ on\u00a0how to pay for miscellaneous charges you may have incurred, such as drinks. \u00a0Some require cash payments; others allow credit cards. \u00a0Check with<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_canvas","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-140","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/galapagosecofriendly.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/galapagosecofriendly.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/galapagosecofriendly.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galapagosecofriendly.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galapagosecofriendly.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140"}],"version-history":[{"count":192,"href":"https:\/\/galapagosecofriendly.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/140\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3011,"href":"https:\/\/galapagosecofriendly.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/140\/revisions\/3011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/galapagosecofriendly.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
