Just a few more things…..
➢   G Adventures requires your passport number, full name and date of birth at the time of booking.
➢   The Ecuadorian government currently levies a Galapagos Islands Park entry fee of $100 USD per person. This is
    payable at the airport upon arrival in the park. It is not included in the cost of the tour and must be paid in CASH. This
    fee funds Park maintenance and supervision in Galapagos, as well as ecological study, conservation and infrastructure
    development in Ecuador's other National Parks.
➢   The Consejo de Gobierno (local government council) have implemented a system of Transit Control Cards at a fee of
    $20 USD per person. This card is to be purchased in CASH at a counter in the Quito airport before boarding the flight
    to the Galapagos. Please retain this card along with your passport as you will be required to present this upon arrival to
    the Galapagos Islands.
➢   Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When selecting a travel insurance policy
    please bear in mind that all clients must have medical coverage and that we require a minimum coverage of USD
    200,000 for repatriation and emergency rescue. If you have credit card insurance, we require proof of purchase of the
    trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name.
➢   Your G Adventures group trip is met in Quito by a G Adventures representative. The aim of the representative is to give
    you the required information for the rest of your journey and to assist with changing money, restaurant and excursion
    suggestions and general information about the city. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge
    will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting- we think it's the best of both worlds. For your shipboard voyage
    we have a highly experienced shipboard staff and crew, including a Galapagos CEO who is a local naturalist guide
    certified by the Galapagos National Park.
➢   Electrical - In Ecuador the power plugs and sockets are of type A and B. The standard voltage is 120 V and the
    standard frequency is 60 Hz. The supply voltage in Peru is 220 volts at 60 hertz (in the USA, electricity is supplied at
    between 110 and 120 volts). Before you plug in any appliance that you’ve brought from home, make sure it can handle
    it. A great way to kill a 110-volt appliance is to fry it at 220 volts. Most laptops will handle 220 V.
➢   Currency - Ecuador's currency is the U.S. dollar. Nuevo Peruvian Soles and US Dollars are widely accepted in Peru.
    However, there may be a slight disadvantage when paying with USD. The cost of a product or service could be slightly
    higher if you pay in USD. 1 Sol = .28 USD
