We invite you to read this new blog to the end so that you know more about the benefits of taking a trip right now to this incredible 100% guaranteed “natural paradise” located in Ecuador. Also, we encourage yourself to explore it in the coming months.
Visit Galapagos on your 2021 summer vacation
Since the global health emergency began, travel has been significantly reduced as the pandemic forced border closures and many of the world’s tourist destinations also closed their doors.
The Galapagos Islands were no exception. In fact, the number of visitors today has dropped to 20 years ago. However, not everything has gone wrong. Do you want to know why we say it? Keep reading this blog and discover the top 3 reasons why you should travel to Galapagos on your summer vacation.
1. Greater biodiversity
Galapagos is a 100% natural destination and has always been characterized by hosting species of flora and fauna that are not found anywhere else in the world. However, the low influx of tourists due to the closure of the Galapagos National Park for visitors for almost 5 months, had a positive effect on all the ecosystems of the archipelago.
“The fauna of the Galapagos Islands is now much more visible.” Juan Carrión – Naturalist guide of the Galapagos National Park.
Right now! It will not be difficult to observe blue footed boobies nesting on the trails of Española Island (this is not common). You can also observe the sea lion pups in greater numbers on Seymour Island. Another plus is that you can swim with sharks on Bartolomé Island or on Seymour Island itself. You can enjoy all this now, because once tourism is normalized, you may not see them again in the same amount as now due to the low influx of tourists.
2. Less flow of tourist cruises to uninhabited islands
In the Galapagos archipelago, around 8 tourist cruises currently operate on a regular basis, including 4 of our fleet whose capacity is 16 passengers each. This is the reason why the influx of tourists to the fabulous visitor sites on the uninhabited islands is low. But how does this benefit my experience?
It is simple! But very beneficial, today the tours aboard a tourist cruise are less frequent than before the pandemic. Therefore, you may have the opportunity that there is only 1 boat in the visiting sites and not only that. In addition, it is very likely that, during your cruise trip to Galapagos, your boat will be the only one that you see sailing through the islands. . Therefore, the activities on each island will be exclusive and unique for you and your travel companions.
3. The ideal weather for your trip
This you should know! There is no bad month to visit the Galapagos Islands. Why? Because at all times you will find flora, fauna and the perfect conditions for activities such as snorkeling or animal watching. However, our recommendation is to travel right now! Since between the months of January to June you will be able to enjoy a warm atmosphere, with a calm sea that will allow you to enjoy first your cruise tours and secondly, the activities you do on the islands.
Enjoy the paradisiacal white sand beaches bathed in crystal clear turquoise waters that will allow you to enjoy swimming, kayaking and snorkeling activities. That’s because the water temperature is ideal (71,6°F to 77°F) for a better enjoyment of these experiences.
Land tours surrounded by nature and through the most incredible volcanic landscapes are not far behind. Here you can do activities such as hiking accompanied by a very pleasant climate (73,4°F to 82,4°F).
