About Ecuador & Galapagos

Ecuador packs an outsized range of landscape into a small country — the snow-capped volcanoes and cloud forests of the Andean highlands, colonial cities like Quito and Cuenca, and the Amazon rainforest reachable within a day's drive from the capital. Its position on the equator gives it dramatic altitude shifts over short distances, from the páramo grasslands around Cotopaxi to the humid lowlands of Yasuni and Cuyabeno.

Around a thousand kilometres off the mainland coast, the Galápagos Islands are a separate world again — a volcanic archipelago where giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and blue-footed boobies show little fear of visitors, protected by national park status and strict visitor limits. Voyzo runs a mix of trip styles here: private mainland circuits through the Andes and Amazon with your own driver, land-based Galápagos itineraries hopping between Santa Cruz, Isabela, and San Cristóbal by ferry and small boat, and a handful of routes that connect onward into Peru, Bolivia, or Colombia for travellers combining Ecuador with a wider South America trip.

Plan Your Visit

Know Before You Go — Ecuador & Galapagos

Best Time to Visit

The Galapagos are good year-round, with two distinct seasons: warm and wet (December-May, calmer seas, better snorkeling visibility) and cool and dry (June-November, choppier seas, more nutrient-rich currents driving wildlife activity). The mainland Andes are driest June through September.

Getting Around

Reaching the Galapagos requires a flight from Quito or Guayaquil to Baltra or San Cristobal. Within the islands, travel is by small boat or ferry between the inhabited islands.

Weather & What to Pack

Quito sits at roughly 2,850 meters and stays cool year-round because of altitude, not latitude. The Galapagos are warm and humid. Pack layers for the Andes and reef-safe sunscreen for the islands, which some tour operators require.

Money & Tipping

Ecuador uses the US dollar as its official currency. Tipping around 10% at restaurants is standard, and Galapagos naturalist guides are typically tipped separately per day.

Galapagos Visitor Rules

The islands are a strictly protected national park — visitors must stay with a licensed guide on regulated trails, and park entrance and departure fees help fund ongoing conservation work.

Local Tips

Altitude sickness is a real consideration in Quito and the Andean highlands. Taking it easy on your first day there helps with acclimatization before more strenuous activity.
