3 Tourism in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno on San Cristóbal Island in Galápagos, EC

Only two of the islands in the Galápagos have commercial airports. San Cristóbal Island is one of them (the other is on Balta Island). So, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno is a major hub for passengers arriving from Guayaquil and Quito on Ecuador’s mainland. Many pass through while connecting to cruise ships. Other tourists opt to make the town the center of their vacation. Hotels range from seaside resorts to hostels. Most boutique stores, souvenir shops, restaurants and bars face the waterfront. The currency at all retailers is the U.S dollar and cash is preferred over credit cards. The people of “Cristóbal” are as welcoming and warm as the weather. The average monthly lows and highs range from 70 to 82 degrees with a mean monthly temperature of 75°F. This climate may not be what you expect near the equator but it is perfect for vacationing.
