Ecuador raises the Galapagos Islands entry Fee.

Tourists visiting the Galapagos Islands will face a doubling of entry fees this year due to concerns that increasing visitor numbers are straining the ecologically fragile area.

Ecuador’s Ministry of Tourism has declared the new fees, effective from August 1, 2024.

The entry fee will rise from $100 to $200 for citizens of most countries, with the exception of other South American trade bloc Mercosur members, which include Argentina, Brazil, and Peru.

Mercosur members will now be charged $100 per person, up from $50. Children under two years old can enter for free, regardless of their nationality.

This marks the first hike in Galapagos entry fees since 1998.

We are very grateful to Galápagos Animal Doctors for inviting us to bring our families into their premises to witness the incredible work that is carried out by their dedicated team. We learned about the care they are providing to domestic animals, the problems that are caused by the large numbers of unsterilized pets that are often left to roam the streets, and the hazards they present to endemic species. Galápagos Animal Doctors are working hard to educate pet owners and the children of Galápagos about the care of their animals, to bring positive and lasting change to these precious islands. 😀
