What Makes Galapagos a
Bucket-List Destination
The Galapagos Islands are located in the Pacific Ocean, about 600 miles west of Ecuador. Flights to the islands typically depart from Quito or Guayaquil.
Visitors to the Galapagos must pay an entry fee upon arrival, which goes towards the conservation of the islands. A passport valid for at least six months is required, and tourists must purchase a transit control card before entering.
As part of Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands use the US Dollar as their currency. Spanish is the official language, but English is commonly spoken in tourist areas.
