The Galapagos is a destination you might only visit once in your life. If you’re considering traveling to the Galapagos for only a few of days, don’t do it. Instead, but if you’re dying to go, you can take a look at Itinerary and budget for 7 days to travel in the Galapagos. Although my best advice is to save up enough money to explore by combining a cruise with day trips.

I’ve had the opportunity to visit Galapagos 15 times, and every trip implies spending a lot of money. Based on my experience, having traveled through most of the Islands and tried the majority of tours and cruises, I’ve created a travel package for tourists that seriously want to explore the Galapagos.
