Interesting facts but deeply confusing, and it is left unclear whether one can get access to a cheaper flight without running the risk of getting charged extra at the airport. The presenter never really makes it clear which option is both (i) the cheapest and (ii) does not involve a credible risk of getting charged extra at the airport. It would APPEAR that the option in question is using LATAM via Google Flights and selecting the Top option there for 174. But it would be tragic if, by adopting that option, one set oneself up for the extra charge at the airport.

I wonder if this nonsense still happening in 2024

They should pick up the pace, looks like the airport doesn't have updated facilities.

What's a liveaboad?

Maybe you could help answer this question. I'd certainly appreciate it if you could try. How do I make sure I will be able to enter the Galapagos without exceeding the tourist limitations? I keep reading that there are limits to the number of tourists in the Galapagos, but I see no place to find out whether I am going to exceed that limit. For example, how do I know that, once I get off the plane at Baltra or San Cristobal, I will not be told that I have to turn around because I am exceeding the number of tourists?

Thanks for the info, and you seem to be a nice couple, but please be honest with your video thumbnail caption. You were not denied the flight. This is the kind of click-bait video thumbnail that makes many people looking at videos for information lose trust and despises travel vloggers, travel influencers, travelling couple videos, etc.

I was sure glad to hear you made it at the end of your video. We arrived here May 10th and had a very short 2-hour window to connect. We were quite worried. It turned out there was no line up so we got to the front for our transit visa right away and it was very simple. They didn't ask us about our hotel, just our passport information in the length of our stay. We then got our luggage check through the scanner and then right onto security. We made it with over 40 minutes to spare. We don't know if this will be the common experience for others, but this is how it went for us. The Galapagos is a beautiful place.

Place looks incredible. Great insight.

Nice video! What time of year did you visit?

Hi, thanks for sharing this information ! I want to book the flights (go and return) separately, Do you know if I have to book again, the expensive Tariff when I go out of Galapagos ?

If you're paying anything less than about US$450 for a return flight from Quito, be very careful (and more commonly $500 - $530). Government policy is clear that the lower priced flights are for Ecuadorians only. Be ready to pay the difference on check-in.

Clickbait

In Galapagos Spanish is not spoken Portuguese jeje

I am so glad your video popped up on my feed. We are going to Galapagos in September 2022 and your experience has given me some great information on what to expect. Glad you made it on the plane, and I hope the trip was wonderful for you both.

one minute in and I know which one I'd want, seems pretty simple from your two sentences of well the one's a mixture of activities, and the other is all diving. Boom, done!

what liverboard company did you find? $2000 is a steal! :)

I went to the Galapagos in pre-Covid days (2017) and even then there was a lot of red-tape involved. They seem to work in slow-motion at the airport. While we were on the plane waiting for departure, the plane stuck around past the expected departure time to take in more late-arrivals. And upon arrival at the Galapogos airport and before the luggage could be claimed, they laid out all the luggage from the plane and set a sniffing dog over all the stuff. 2 passenges had their luggage opened to verify contents (not likely drugs but rather unauthorized food items).

Love your video 💜☮️✨🤿🐠

Good information. Thanks for sharing.

It works with LATAM. Instead of 400 USD per person - 280 USD (Guayaquil-Baltra, San Cristobal-Quito). Thanks for the great tip.

Going next month!

Whew‼️

Muy lindo video ,amo galapagos

This is GOLD! Thank you SO much. I thought I was good at hunting down cheap flights --- you are NEXT LEVEL.

Thank you so much for all of this information! I'm currently in Mexico and I'm planning my trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos.

Great video! You should look into the vp09 code for RUclips.

Amazing!

IMPORTANT COVID info before go: - To enter the Galapagos you need a PCR test taken within 96 hours. - Salvo Conduto - A document that your hostel or hotel needs to fill and send to you - once you book your accommodation, send to them: name, number of passport and nationality of all travelers. - Get to the Ecuador mainland Airport 3 hours earlier (yes really!) - In the airport, you need to do an extra check for Galapagos where they are going to check your documents (PCR test, passport, salvo conduto and bags), if everything is ok they charge $20 per person and you are clear to get on the plane to Galapagos. These extra checks can take more than two hours, so get in the airport very early.

Glad you enjoyed our island Isabela in the Galápagos Archipelago best. Come back soon. Horseback riding is also available- too bad you missed this great horse adventurous day trip. Cheers

Did you all experience any difficulties getting into/ out of ecuador? Considering a trip next month wirh my son

Such a beautiful part of the world 😍

NICE VIDEO!!!! Greetings from Austria 🙂✌

I watched that whole video waiting to hear that you got denied, because I wanted to know why, but you weren't denied and actually got on the flight. Bit of a misleading title? The whole experience for me was simple, quick, no issues. Not sure how you didn't know about the Salvoconducto though, it's mentioned everywhere when you're doing research post-covid for this trip. The only issue I had is that Latam charged me an extra $350 dollars when I arrived because somehow I bought an Ecuadorian ticket. Not really sure how that was possible as I just bought it on the Latam site. I ended up chilling for hours near the gate because I was super early - absolutely no queues, not even one person in front of me at the Transit box thing, or either baggage checks. Glad you didn't get denied and you actually got to go though.

That's quite tedious process but im sure worth it

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm impressed with how thorough the checks are! Galapagos definitely on the bucket list !

Nice video. Interesting channel. Like, new subscriber. Please watch my youtube channel

Another thing you should consider is buying a SIM card at the airport, the internet in Galapagos is not so great, the hostels we were, didn't have internet in the rooms, only in common areas and the signal was not so great, 4G was much better. The two best companies to buy it: CLARO or Movistar, both have a shop at the airport, your phone should be unlocked 😉

This is such an awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

Im New Sub YOur Channel and 6like its amazing channel and pro video good luck dear friend

This was fun... We only see penguins in the zoo here... We love to go there too...
