What documents are needed to enter the Galapagos?
Always check with your local embassy or consulate to determine whether or not you need a VISA for Ecuador. A passport is a must, though; so be sure to get your papers settled before traveling abroad. It’s smart to take photocopies of all important documents (passport, travel insurance, credit cards etc.) and keep them in a safe place apart from your originals. To enter Ecuador only a valid passport is required. No visas are required for U.S., Canadian, and most European citizens unless you plan to stay more than ninety days. Check with local immigration offices or the Ecuadorian consulate prior to sailing to determine if a visa is necessary. You will also need a return-ticket out of the islands.
