Beyond Medical Care
It would be unwise for us to provide any guidance for your health when travelling to the Galapagos Islands. There is, of course, consensus about risks, bugs, food, etc. but we, as travel advisors, can only point you in the direction of people that have current and accurate information. We don’t have current and accurate information ourselves and if you are reading this after it is published, then we will definitely be out of date… perhaps even tomorrow.
So follow the links and take the advice from the people that are paid to keep those facts up to date for you.
