Do not feed wildlife.
Luggage will be inspected before entering Galápagos National Park.
Respect wildlife and their natural habitat. Keep at least two meters away from the animals so as not to affect their behaviour.
Avoid consuming disposable goods; do not throw away organic waste or any kind of waste until you find a proper place to dispose of it, as this can significantly affect the development of the ecosystem. Try to recycle or reuse all solid waste.
Respect the recommendations given by the park rangers and the entrance hours of each area.
Stay on the trails and respect the signs. Do not damage infrastructure.
Carry out campfires, camping, and other activities only in the permitted zones of each area.
Special care is required during the breeding, molting, or rearing season. Do not place yourself between two animals, especially between a mother and her young. Some species are highly protective and may attack if they suspect their young are threatened or may leave the young more vulnerable to predators.
Hunting of animals, entry with weapons, and alcoholic beverages is strictly forbidden. It is also forbidden to damage the flora or take plants, animals, or geological remains. Check the list of permitted objects for entry to the corresponding protected area.
Avoid flash photography so as not to alter the normal behaviour of wildlife. Filming, professional photography for commercial purposes, and the use of drones require authorization from the corresponding protected area's management.
Do not support the illegal trade of flora and fauna species.
Use environmentally friendly insect repellent, and completely avoid aerosols. We recommend using cream-based repellents or other alternatives.
