Parque Nacional Galápagos

The Ultimate Galápagos Islands Travel Guide

"I learned that the park, established in 1959 and central to protecting the archipelago's wildlife, requires an entry fee of $100 payable in cash on arrival, plus a $20 transit card (also cash) at the airport; it's strictly managed to limit crowds and environmental pressure and is the base for most regulated visitor activities." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
