Quarantine, work from home, new normal, COVID-19<\/strong>, PCR testing. These are some of the topics we have in mind today, but what if I want to travel? Is it safe to travel now?<\/strong> In this blog you will discover the reasons why it may be safe<\/strong> to travel to the Galapagos Islands<\/strong> now.<\/p>\n

More than a year has passed since the global health emergency began and today we all feel the need to disconnect<\/strong> from the routine at least for a few days. In fact, we want to take a trip as a family, as a couple or even alone. Consequently, this will positively contribute to our physical and mental health<\/strong>, however, the question arises, is it safe to travel now?<\/strong><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”15px” header_2_font=”|700||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”left” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”21px” header_3_font=”|||on|||||” header_3_text_align=”left” header_3_text_color=”#023570″ header_3_font_size=”17px” header_3_letter_spacing=”1px” header_3_line_height=”1.1em” header_5_text_align=”center” header_5_text_color=”#000000″ header_5_font_size=”12px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Absolutely!<\/h2>\n

Don’t get us wrong, we know that every trip involves taking some precautions and more so now that we must adapt to the new biosafety protocols<\/strong>. In addition, they are currently applied before, during, and even after your return home (temperature measurement, use of a mask, COVID-19 tests …). This means that traveling is now safe<\/strong> as long as biosafety regulations are respected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

TRAVEL TO GALAPAGOS NOW!<\/h2>\n

The Galapagos Islands<\/strong> are one of the most important natural destinations in the world and home to several of the most incredible and unique species on the planet.<\/strong>\u00a0And right now with very little influx of tourists<\/strong>. Here are the 6 key points<\/strong> we have considered on why it is safe to travel to the Galapagos Islands now<\/strong>.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”15px” header_2_font=”|700||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”left” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”21px” header_3_font=”|||on|||||” header_3_text_align=”left” header_3_text_color=”#023570″ header_3_font_size=”17px” header_3_letter_spacing=”1px” header_3_line_height=”1.1em” header_4_text_align=”center” header_4_text_color=”#000000″ header_4_font_size=”12px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

1. Galapagos is a National Park<\/h2>\n

The Galapagos Islands were named a UNESCO<\/strong> World Heritage Site more than 40 years ago thanks to their unique natural beauty and also for being home to many unique species in the world. The regulations<\/strong> on the number of visitors allowed<\/strong> to each visiting site on the Islands, has made it possible to develop responsible tourism without crowds<\/strong> for years.<\/p>\n

2. Less tourists<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

Covid-19 restricted many travels on a global scale. In fact in Galapagos the number of visitors is considerably low<\/strong> considering that the world’s only “natural laboratory” has never stood out as a massive tourist destination like Hawaii or some Caribbean islands. Therefore, if you decide to visit<\/strong> this paradisiac place now, you can enjoy even more an exclusive and unforgettable experience without crowds<\/strong>.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/cruisetogalapagos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/galapagos_lugares_abiertos_visita.jpg” alt=”Actividades al aire libre en Gal\u00e1pagos” title_text=”gal\u00e1pagos_lugares_abiertos_visita” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”9px||3px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”15px” header_2_font=”|700||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”left” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”21px” header_3_font=”|||on|||||” header_3_text_align=”left” header_3_text_color=”#023570″ header_3_font_size=”17px” header_3_letter_spacing=”1px” header_3_line_height=”1.1em” header_4_text_align=”center” header_4_text_color=”#000000″ header_4_font_size=”12px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

3. A large space available to you<\/h2>\n

The Galapagos archipelago<\/strong> is made up of 13 main islands, only 4 of them populated<\/strong> (Santa Cruz, San Crist\u00f3bal, Isabela, and Floreana), and more than 200 islets, rocks, and smaller islands. Therefore, it is possible to experience a direct connection with its nature, its landscapes, and its unique species in the world, without being surrounded by other people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
