The Galapagos Islands are a bucket list destination for many travels. It’s also a destination that typically requires long lead times to plan a visit. As of July 1st Ecuador has opened the destination to fully vaccinated travelers and reduced the hoops for unvaccinated ones. So depending upon your health and risk tolerance, now may be the time to plan a fall getaway to the Galapagos.
From then, if you have completed a COVID vaccination course at least 14 days before your trip you will no longer have to have negative PCR tests before you can travel. Simply show your vaccination certificate at your point of arrival in Ecuador.
For those travelers who are not yet fully vaccinated the entry requirements have also been simplified. You will now simply have to show proof of a negative PCR test taken up to 72 hours before you travel.
These positive changes are fantastic news for everyone, and we are delighted that the Ecuadorian Ministry of Tourism has been leading the way in reopening these beautiful islands safely. At Galapatours it’s our mission to help people discover the “cradle of evolution”, and we’ve been working with the Ministry and with all our cruise ship operating partners to ensure they are ready to welcome everyone safely.
Please remember, in normal times Galápagos cruises often sell out more than a year in advance, so now is the perfect time to book your 2022 Galápagos adventure.
