Ecuador

What is the main language?

  • The official language of the Galápagos Islands is Spanish. While some people in the tourism industry speak English, knowing a few basic Spanish phrases will be helpful and appreciated by locals.

What is the time zone?

  • The Galápagos Islands operate on Galápagos Time, which is 1 hour behind mainland Ecuador. That makes it 1 hour ahead of Salt Lake City’s Mountain Time (when not observing Daylight Saving Time).

Will I need a converter/adapter for electricity?

  • The Galápagos uses Type A and B outlets with a standard voltage of 120V, similar to the U.S. You likely won’t need a power adapter if you're coming from the States, but it’s always good to double-check your devices.

What is the climate like?

  • The climate is tropical and varies slightly throughout the year. February is typically warm and wet, with average highs around 86°F (30°C) and lows around 76°F (24°C). Lightweight, breathable clothing and rain gear are recommended.

Will I need travel insurance?

  • Travel insurance that covers medical emergencies is recommended. While no vaccines are required, it’s wise to consult your doctor before traveling. Bring seasickness medication if you're planning to take boat tours between islands. Find that here.

What is the currency like?

  • The official currency is the U.S. Dollar (USD), so you won’t need to exchange money if you're coming from the U.S. Small bills are preferred, especially on the smaller islands where change can be limited.

What is transportation like?

  • Most travel between islands is by boat or small plane. On land, taxis and walking are the main ways to get around in towns. Guided tours are recommended for exploring natural sites and protected areas.

Is it safe?

  • The Galápagos is generally very safe, but always stay on marked paths and follow park rules to protect yourself and the fragile ecosystem. Watch your belongings in busy areas like ports and markets.

What is the local cuisine?

  • Seafood is a highlight here—try ceviche, grilled fish, and lobster in season. Ecuadorian staples like rice, plantains, and fresh fruit are also common. Many restaurants offer fresh, locally sourced dishes.

What is the cultural etiquette like?

  • Be respectful of local customs and the environment. Follow the guidance of your tour guides, and always greet people with a friendly “hola” (hello) or “buenos días” (good morning). A simple “gracias” (thank you) goes a long way.

Is tipping customary?

  • Tipping isn’t mandatory but is appreciated. In restaurants, a 10% tip is customary for good service. Tour guides and boat crews also appreciate small tips for their work and hospitality

Ecuador

What are the top travel tips for first-time visitors to Ecuador?

For first-time visitors to Ecuador, be prepared for a wide range of climates—from sunny coastal areas to cooler highlands. Pack accordingly, drink bottled water to avoid stomach issues, and carry a copy of your passport while leaving the original in a safe place. Use reputable transportation, learn a few basic Spanish phrases, and consider guided tours when exploring less touristy regions. Be cautious with street food, and take time to enjoy the country’s culture and biodiversity safely.

Are there any cultural norms or etiquette I should be aware of when visiting Ecuador?

A polite greeting with a handshake and eye contact is customary. In formal situations, use titles and last names until invited to be more casual. Dress modestly, especially in rural areas. Tipping around 10% is standard if not already included. Be mindful when discussing sensitive topics like politics or religion, and always ask permission before photographing people—particularly in indigenous communities.

What should I know about health and safety while participating in outdoor activities in Ecuador?

Stay hydrated and use strong sun protection, especially at higher altitudes where UV exposure is stronger. Be aware of altitude sickness in regions like the Andes Mountains and allow time to acclimatize. Carry a basic first aid kit, use experienced guides for activities like hiking or rafting, and monitor weather conditions closely, as they can change quickly. Travel Insurance is also recommended, you can find that here.

How can I stay connected with mobile and internet services while in Ecuador?

Staying connected is fairly easy. SIM cards from providers like Claro, Movistar, or CNT offer good coverage and are available at airports or online. Hotels usually provide reliable Wi-Fi, though remote areas may have limited connectivity. Make sure your phone is unlocked before purchasing a SIM card.

What is the official currency of Ecuador?

Ecuador uses the United States Dollar (USD), which simplifies transactions for many travelers. It’s helpful to carry small bills, as change for large denominations can be difficult to get.

Are there ATMs readily available in Ecuadorian cities and rural areas?

ATMs are widely available in cities and larger towns, but may be limited in rural areas. It’s a good idea to carry enough cash when traveling outside major urban centers.

Should I carry cash or are credit cards safe to use in Ecuador?

A combination of both is best. Cash is necessary for small purchases and rural areas, while credit cards are accepted in cities and tourist spots. Inform your bank before traveling and keep an eye on your card during transactions to prevent fraud.

What are some significant archaeological sites in Ecuador that reflect its ancient history?

Ecuador has several important archaeological sites, including Ingapirca, the country’s largest Inca site. Cochasquí features pyramids and burial mounds, while Chirije is known for its petroglyphs and ancient trade history.

What is the official language of Ecuador, and are there any other widely spoken languages?

Spanish is the official language. Indigenous languages such as Kichwa and Shuar are also spoken, especially in rural and Amazon regions. English is commonly understood in major cities and tourist areas.

What is the capital of Ecuador, and why is it significant?

The capital is Quito, located high in the Andes. It is known for its well-preserved historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and serves as the country’s cultural and political hub.

Do I need a visa to visit Ecuador?

Travelers from the United States, the UK, and many other countries can enter Ecuador without a visa for stays of up to 90 days. Check Visa Requirements here

What is the time zone in Ecuador?

Quito operates on UTC-5 and does not observe daylight saving time, aligning with Eastern Standard Time for part of the year. The Galápagos Islands are one hour behind (UTC-6).

Our Happy Clients

All the details were taken care of. Our tour guide was personable, knows the history and all of the interesting facts, entertaining, and gracious. This is our first tour with Evolution35, but it won’t be our last. We are already planning our next trip to Italy with them.

- Stefan and Molly

Our Happy Clients

I was very pleased with the service that I received from evolution35 travel company. Our 9 day trip to Cancún was wonderful time in this beautiful country. The resorts that evolution35 chose for our stay were all wonderful! Evolution35 people was in constant communication with us via email and WhatsApp asking how the trip was going and if we had any concerns or requests and when I did have a request they responded immediately and took care of it. Everything including tours and transportation were taken care of for us so it was very relaxing knowing we did not have to think about anything except when and where we were going next. Evolution35 also worked hard to ensure that we have a wonderful time during our stay in Cancun an that we return home safe. We are planing a trip to Costa Rica with Evolution35 in October.

Our Happy Clients

The Paris 99 trip was great. We enjoyed the driving tour of Paris, although we did fall asleep a few times as we were tired from the overnight flight from SLC. Our guide, Pedro, provided excellent information on the history of Paris and the sites we saw. The tour of Versailles was excellent, but we do wish we could have spent a little more time there. The Eifel Tower was amazing but felt a little rushed. The dinner on the Seine was excellent. Thank you for a great trip.

- Richard Leake

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 Paris tour was an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide, Pedro, was spectacular. He is very knowledgeable and personable. He treated us like family. The tour was a happy balance between guided sightseeing tours and free time. We had so much fun that we can't wait to see what other tours Evolution35 offer.

- Kenneth S Davis

Our Happy Clients

We did the Costa Rica trip and it was incredible. Zipline, rainforest, boat rides, catamaran. It
was soooo much trip for the money. Loved the hotel Tabacón with the hot springs and the
Westin was also 5 star! You go from the Carribean side to the Pacific. It's the trip of a
lifetime. Well done evolution35

- Jason Shamy

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 made our dream vacation come true! Great package price inclusive of airfare, 5
star hotel, transportation, meals, and excursions. I did not have to do anything. Everything
was planned ahead for me under one affordable price. We had a blast and are looking
forward to booking again with evolution35! Evolution35 is the way to vacation!!!!!!

- ANALIS CARATTINI-RUIZ

Our Happy Clients

Fantastic trip to Paris with Evolution 35. Between booking our trip and the time we left, we had lots of questions and they were always so quick to respond to our emails. It was so wonderful that they took care of many details of our trip for us, especially the first couple of days as we were getting oriented in a foreign place! Our tour guide was hilarious and knowledgeable. He helped us stay safe and have a lot of fun too! A great experience for us!

Our Happy Clients

Contacté con esta empresa gracias a una amiga. La relación calidad/precio me ha parecido
excelente. La atención durante la contratación del viaje fue muy buena y rápida.
Solucionaron todas nuestras dudas, que eran muchas, con paciencia y acierto. La propuesta
que finalmente contratamos ha sido ideal para una primera vez en Hawaii, nos ha permitido
vivir la tranquilidad de la isla y hacer rutas por los parques naturales. En la llegada a Maui no
reubicaron a un apartahotel mejor en una zona diferente a la inicial que resultó ser un gran
acierto, dado que íbamos en familia, y facilitó nuestra estancia. Si podemos volver en el
futuro para conocer las otras islas, seguro que repetimos con ellos. ¡Gracias!
