Explore Galápagos Islands
What makes Galápagos Islands distinct
Each island and visitor site offers a different ecological context; wildlife encounters and permitted activities depend on the route and park rules. The archipelago should not be represented as a generic add-on to a Peru itinerary or as a guaranteed collection of species sightings.
Planning a visit
Verify a licensed operating partner, conservation rules, transport and entry requirements before presenting a commercial journey. A Peru itinerary does not by itself establish the logistics for this separate Ecuadorian destination.
For current access and visitor guidance, consult the official destination reference before making arrangements.
Conservation shapes the visit
The Galápagos Islands are a protected Ecuadorian archipelago, not a generic add-on to a Peru itinerary. The permitted visitor sites, guides and transport determine what a trip can responsibly include. Follow the Galápagos National Park rules and verify the current route through an authorized operator before treating any wildlife encounter as likely.
