As for every trip you
take abroad, general good health is required. If you are under
medication, be sure to bring enough for the entire length of your
trip. If you should become ill during your stay, the local tour
operators can provide you with names of English speaking physicians
or telephone of your Consulate or Embassy for advice. At the time of
publication no immunizations are required for your trip to Ecuador,
however, for travel to the rainforest prevention against malaria &
yellow fever may be considered.
Good general health is required for your travel to Galapagos. You
will take long walks in hot weather. We advise you to start to get
into shape by bicycling, walking or swimming as this will help you
to enjoy your trip. Please advise us if you have any medical
condition, which may require attention, so we can be prepared should
an emergency arise. No immunizations are necessary to travel to the
Galapagos. If you are vegetarian, allergic to any food or under a
special diet, please let us know in advance, so we can comply with
your requirements.

hotels & restaurants
