Entry Requirement to the Galapagos

Flying into Ecuador and then directly to the Galapagos islands
    •    To enter Ecuador you need to have a Negative SARS-COV 2/COVID-19 PCR test – real time: Nasopharyngeal (not the rapid test). You must enter within 10 days of the test being taken. GALAPAGOS STILL REQUIRES A NEGATIVE TEST WITHIN 96 HOURS, so if you do not accomplish this you will need to take another test in the mainland Ecuador.
    •    On arrival to Ecuador passengers will be required to sign a Declaration of good health document – stating where they wil stay in Ecuador and Galapagos.
    •    On arrival to Ecuador IF YOU PRESENT WITH SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19 passengers must take a 2nd SARS-COV 2/COVID-19 PCR test – real time: Nasopharyngeal (at cost to the passenger). The passengers must stay in the Ecuador continent for 48 hours whilst waiting for the results IN A HOTEL ON THE PRESCRIBED LIST FROM THE AUTHORITIES.
    •    If the result is Negative the passengers can continue on their journey. If the result is positive the passengers will have to complete the cumpulsory quarentine.
    •    You must have a tour package, cruise, hotel or tour booked in Galapagos. The ministry of Tourism wants all tourists registered with their itineraries. If you don’t want to book a whole package you can still enter Galapagos, but you need to have something booked, hotel or tour, so you are registered with an authorised agency or hotel.
    •    You will need to get the “Salvo-conducto” (safe passage) document from your travel agency, hotel, who ever you booked with. They will need to process this with the Ministry of tourism and provide you with a copy. You will need to show this along with your Negative PCR test at the airport to enter Galapagos.
    •    You must wear a face mask at all times in Ecaudor and the Galapagos islands and during your flights. They are readily available for purchase now pretty much everywhere you go, so if you run out, lose, break your masks you will be able to buy replacements.
    •    The flight protocol to Galapagos will be the same as your international flights. Your
    •    temperature will be checked before entering the aiport in Ecuador mainland and on arrival to Galapagos. If your temperature is above 37.9C you will ne be permitted to board the plane or enter Galapagos.
    •    All foregin passengers are required to have Health/Travel insurance.
