Galapagos - Local Customs

Jul 01, 2025

Do not smoke, drink, or create wood fires in the protected areas in Galapagos. You can drink and smoke cigarettes in the city (near the bars), but not when on a tour or visiting a major attraction.

Don't write on trees or rocks. This practice of bad manners and rudeness also damage the landscape.

Don’t stick stones, shells, black coral, volcanic rocks, native wood, animal parts, or flora in your pockets as souvenirs.
