Following a worldwide trend, traveling to the Galapagos Islands is about to get more expensive 💸 The mandatory entry fee is about to double its price 🤯 From August of this year onwards, it will cost $200 instead of the current $100. This is a one-off charge that covers all the days of their 60-day visa-free stay. Currently, visitors from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Perú and Uruguay have to pay $50, but it will also rise to $100. Ecuadorian travelers will see the biggest increase: from $6 to $30 🙏 📌 These changes aim to reduce pressure on the islands’ resources and combat overtourism. The money revenue from this measure will help raise funds for conservation, infrastructure and the community, according to the Galapagos Conservation Trust (GCT). 🏞️ The Galapagos are a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising 19 main islands. They span almost 8000 km2 and are home to many endangered plants and animals. The Galapagos are a national park in Ecuador, which has declared 97% of the area as protected. #ecuadortravel #ecuadortour #ecuadortravelling #ecuadortourism #ecuadorvisa #ecuadortrip #ecuadorholiday #ecuadorvacation #tourismecuador #travelecuador #exploreecuador #discoverecuador #visitecuador #experienceecuador #ecuadorguide
