Galapagos Welcomes Everyone

Travel is already challenging on its own, so it's even more challenging for persons with disabilities. According to America's Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 7 out of 10 persons with disabilities reduce their travel significantly because of their disability. Galapagos has made a very conscious effort to change that. Hotels, tours, cruises, walkways, and tourist spots have all made considerable improvements to accommodate those with limited mobility. You can book a kayaking trip on the Anzu River with highly trained local guides ready to help you make the most of your holiday, or visit the largest and best-preserved Colonial Quarter in Quito. Here, everyone gets to experience the wonder.
