Definitely, a trip to\u00a0one of the most famous archipelago in the world<\/b>\u00a0is an \u201cexpensive\u201d trip, but it is worth every dollar you invest in it, and\u00a0it should never be compared to a Caribbean cruise.<\/b><\/p>\n

If we want to compare\u00a0a trip to the \u201cenchanted islands\u201d<\/b>\u00a0let\u2019s do it between an\u00a0Island hopping tour or a Cruise<\/b>\u00a0with some other destination, we could do it with a trip to\u00a0Hawaii<\/b>\u00a0or perhaps to some remote place in\u00a0Alaska<\/b>. If we can imagine a trip to these characteristics, we can imagine why\u00a0\u201cGalapagos is worth what it costs.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

During this post we want you to know some of the most important reasons why a trip to Galapagos is \u201cexpensive\u201d, from our point of view as\u00a0experts in this tourist destination<\/b>\u00a0in\u00a0Ecuador<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0South America<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION<\/h2>\n
\n

As you know, the Galapagos Islands are located in the\u00a0Pacific Ocean<\/b><\/a>, 1000 km \/ 621 miles off the Ecuadorian coast. The\u00a0Marine Reserve<\/b>\u00a0has an approximate area of \u200b\u200b133,000 km\u00b2 \/ 51,000 mi\u00b2, which, also, thanks to\u00a0the equatorial line<\/b>\u00a0that crosses it, the archipelago offers\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>2 travel seasons or climatic seasons<\/b>, optimal for tourism throughout the year<\/b>.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0warm-season<\/b>\u00a0that will allow you to observe the emergence of life in its most natural state, and another\u00a0dry-season<\/b>\u00a0where you can observe the splendor of marine species.<\/p>\n

Now that you know where the Galapagos Islands are located, you will understand why it is considered\u00a0a natural paradise, and that it, unfortunately, has certain disadvantages.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

SUPPLY AND LOGISTICS<\/h2>\n

The supply of essential products in the Islands<\/b>\u00a0is mostly\u00a0carried out by sea<\/b>\u00a0from the\u00a0Guayaquil<\/b>\u00a0port. It is a trip that lasts around 3 days, and in which around 200 containers are transported that\u00a0must wait on board the ships until all the containers have been shipped<\/b>, this can take around\u00a07 days<\/b>.<\/p>\n

However, you must also consider\u00a0the time it takes to disembark<\/b>\u00a0all this cargo on each of the islands: San Crist\u00f3bal and Santa Cruz, this could take between\u00a07 to 15 days<\/b>\u00a0approximately. That is, all merchandise, supplies, and others can take between\u00a021 and 30 days to reach the islands<\/b>, from their shipment.<\/p>\n

Can you imagine how much this logistics costs?<\/b>\u00a0The\u00a0cost is really high<\/b>, and for this reason, is that any product on the islands costs around\u00a0100% more than in mainland Ecuador<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"supply

Photo taken:<\/strong> \u201cEl Comercio\u201d newspaper archive<\/p><\/div>\n

It is important to add <\/span>that the sea is not the only way to get supplies on the islands<\/b>. There is another faster way,\u00a0<\/span>the airway<\/b>. However, the disadvantage of this is the limitation of\u00a0<\/span>the cargo quotas<\/b>\u00a0offered by commercial airlines, since there are\u00a0<\/span>no exclusive cargo planes<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This form of supply is\u00a0the least used on a large scale<\/b>, due to its\u00a0high cost<\/b>\u00a0of approximately\u00a0$ 1.50 USD per kilo<\/b>. In such a way that any product transported in this way from Continental Ecuador, will come to reflect this value in the final price.<\/p>\n

Now, how much do you think it would cost to supply a cruise ship in Galapagos?<\/b>\u00a0Indeed, it would be expensive, since it cannot be supplied directly from the mainland, due to the distance and costs it would generate in its logistics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

SPECIAL GALAPAGOS LAW AND RESTRICTIONS<\/h2>\n
\n

In the Galapagos Province, there is a\u00a0special law<\/b>, by which\u00a0not all the inhabitants of Ecuador can live or work on the Islands<\/b>. The reason why the labor force in any job is limited and exclusive for\u00a0the \u201ccolonists\u201d or permanent residents<\/b>.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0there are certain exceptions<\/b>\u00a0only and exclusively only when it is shown that there is no qualified labor for a certain job, companies can hire people from Continental Ecuador.<\/p>\n

Likewise, due to this law, each year\u00a0a study of the consumer price index is carried out<\/b>, which allows setting the\u00a0salaries of the province<\/b>, which in consequence of what we have explained about supply and logistics, and due to other circumstances,\u00a0they are higher than in mainland Ecuador.<\/b><\/p>\n

Regarding\u00a0the restrictions<\/b>, it is important to mention that there is\u00a0a list of products that<\/b>, due to conservation issues, or for the protection of the island producer, are not allowed to be transported from the mainland. The list is long, however,\u00a0we can mention some of them:<\/b>\u00a0coffee beans, fruits with seeds, dairy products, any type of meat for human consumption, among others.\u00a0More details\u00a0<\/b>here<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

EXCLUSIVITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CARE<\/h2>\n

The Paradise<\/b>, like many travelers who have had the privilege of visiting the Galapagos call it, including some\u00a0world celebrities<\/b><\/a>\u00a0such as American actor\u00a0Leonardo DiCaprio<\/b>\u00a0and Microsoft CEO\u00a0Bill Gates<\/b>, have been amazed by the exemplary\u00a0environmental care<\/b>\u00a0that exists. in the islands, all this with the support of the authorities and the community to preserve one of the most important\u00a0Natural Heritage of Humanity<\/b><\/a>\u00a0in the world according to\u00a0UNESCO<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Of course!\u00a0\u201cThe famous Islands are not something for everyone\u201d<\/b>, that is,\u00a0it is not a massive tourist destination<\/b>, however, it is such a special place that all who dare to know it will surely remember it all their lives.\u00a0Are you ready to meet Galapagos?<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

EDUCATIONAL TOURISM VS. SUN AND BEACH TOURISM<\/h2>\n

It is important that you know\u00a0that the islands are not a purely \u201csun and beach\u201d destination<\/b>, since, if that is what you are looking for, you will be able to find much cheaper places in other destinations.<\/p>\n

The fun part<\/b>\u00a0of a trip to Galapagos is\u00a0educational tourism\u00a0<\/b>and everything it can offer you, such as\u00a0never-before-seen animals,\u00a0<\/b>bird watching<\/b>, hidden places, and various activities full of spectacular adventures.<\/b><\/p>\n

Galapagos is not just sun and beach tourism!<\/b>\u00a0It is an adventure and expedition, since, if you take a\u00a0<\/span>Cruise through the Islands<\/b>, you will be able to discover its most hidden secrets,\u00a0<\/span>flora and fauna unique in the world<\/b>, and other wonders that are only shown to those who have decided\u00a0<\/span>to make the best trip of their life!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

IN CONCLUSION<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In conclusion, a trip to the Galapagos Islands is \u201cexpensive\u201d due to all\u00a0the investment<\/b>\u00a0that tourism operators, hotels, restaurants, and tourism service providers, must make, in order to offer you a\u00a0quality service<\/b>, an\u00a0Once in a Lifetime Experience<\/b>, and above all guarantee your\u00a0safety<\/b>\u00a0and that of the\u00a0endemic species<\/b>\u00a0that inhabit this wonderful place.<\/p>\n

Remember that if you decide to take an\u00a0island hopping tour<\/b>\u00a0or take a\u00a0cruise on the islands<\/b>, you contribute to the economy of hundreds of island families, since\u00a0more than 80% of the economic activity of the islands is directly or indirectly linked to tourism.<\/b><\/p>\n
