Best time to visit.
Simply put, there’s no bad time to visit the Galapagos Islands. Good weather is mostly found year round, as are the animals. This being said, November through to June is the preferred time to visit, with clearer skies, calmer seas and decreased winds. Of these, March and April have less rain, while November and December are the warmest. July to November is the best time for divers as whale sharks can often be spotted at Wolf and Darwin islands.

Culture and customs
Ever since Charles Darwin brought attention to the giant tortoises, sea lions, hammerhead sharks and other spectacular wildlife of the Galapagos Islands, people have been fascinated by this archipelago of volcanic islands. Originally a pirate hideout, people started migrating to the islands from Ecuador after it became part of the country in 1832. Of the 13 major islands and scores of smaller islands and islets that make up the Galapagos, only five of them are inhabited – about 26,000 residents spread over the islands of Isabela, Santa Cruz, Floreana, Baltra and San Cristobal. The wildlife rules the rest of the islands, which are carefully managed to help protect the precious environment.
Geography and environment
Located in the Pacific Ocean about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands are a volcanic archipelago of 13 major islands, six smaller islands and more than 100 islets. Some are sparsely vegetated with largely mountainous interiors, whereas others are comparatively lush with white-sand beaches. Many of the islands are in a state of flux, as continual volcanic eruptions cause them to erode and expand.
The largest island, Isabela, makes up half the land area of the Galapagos and is characterized by three active volcanos, a blue lagoon, clear lakes filled with flamingos and beaches where iguanas and sea lions roam. Santa Cruz is the second largest island with giant tortoises, marine iguanas and Galapagos crabs residing in Tortuga Bay. The oldest and most remote island, Espanola (also called Hood), boasts boobies, albatrosses and many species of birds and lizards not found anywhere else in the world.
Top wildlife to spot
1. Sea Lions
Whether you're loafing about on the beach or snorkeling offshore, you’ll be hard-pressed not to come face-to-face with these frolicsome critters at some stage. Playful, plentiful, and pretty much fearless, you’re supposed to keep a 2-meter distance from these guys at all times - though their insatiable curiosity can make this hard.
2. Marine Iguanas
The only lizards in the world that can live and forage in the ocean, the marine iguana is found solely in the Galapagos. Fierce and ferocious though these Godzilla-like reptiles may appear (Darwin called them ‘Imps of Darkness’), it’s all bluff – they only feed on algae. And with lung capacities permitting up to half an hour of underwater foraging, you’re just as likely find them gorging on the islands’ surrounding seabeds as scampering about the craggy rocks they inhabit.
3. Hammerhead Sharks
Boasting one of the animal kingdom’s most puzzling physiologies, hammerhead sharks are found in abundance off Wolf, Bartolome, Santa Cruz and Darwin islands. Unlike most sharks, they will often merge into schools of over 100 during the day - making for some incredible and surreal photo opportunities. And with no known human fatalities and a wealth of choice natural prey on offer, diving amongst them isn’t as scary or dangerous as one might think.
Darwin finches gave rise to one of the most game-changing theories of all time. By studying the differences between finches from different islands, Darwin hypothesized that the birds’ adaptations to their habitats resulted in their mutation into different species: his Theory of Evolution.
5. Giant Tortoises
No trip to the islands is complete without a visit to its most famous residents. Weighing up to 882 pounds, regularly living for more than 100 years, and able to go for up to 1 year without food, these gentle and slow-moving monsters are an intriguing and humbling spectacle to observe.
6. Sea Turtles
Snorkeling alongside these majestic creatures of the deep (or more accurately, the shallows) is one of those rare, life-affirming moments that makes a trip to the Galapagos immediately worthwhile. Keep your eyes peeled on the beaches for turtle nests too - the Galapagos is a hotbed of activity for these critters.
7. Blue-Footed Boobies
Despite essentially looking like handsome seagulls with painted toenails, blue-footed boobies, when caught hunting, serve up one of the Galapagos' most thrilling spectacles. Diving from heights of up to 100ft, groups of boobies hit the water at speeds up around 60km per hour. They usually let out a shrill whistle before letting rip, which means you'll usually have warning enough to get your camera out too. How considerate.
8. Flightless Cormorants
Granted, a flightless cormorant spotted on land isn't one of the most invigorating sights you'll see during your time here. But wait until you don your snorkel gear and spot one weaving elegantly through the water - the flightless cormorant will likely become one of your favorite discoveries in the Galapagos Islands for this reason alone.
9. Frigatebird
With its striking wingspan and deeply-forked tail, the magnificent frigate bird is easily one of the most impressive birds in the skies of the Galapagos archipelago. But they don't have such a swell reputation amongst other birds. Whilst they hunt fish on the oceans surface, they also force their winged brethren to regurgitate their food, which then they eat - a process known as kleptoparasitism. Still, they look gorgeous – particularly the males, with their bright-red chin sac.

Which kind of Galapagos tour is best for me?
Discovering the Galapagos and enjoying the vacation of a lifetime, has never been easier than with the help of our Galapagos experts . Thanks to our years of expertise, we have combined the best land tours , and offer the best cruises in the Galapagos.
But wait… what is the difference between a land-based tour and a cruise?
There is not a lot of difference between a Galapagos land-based tour and a cruise . Considering that the visitor sites will be almost the same as long as they can be reached within a couple hours from your hotel, wildlife will be the same and the experience will be the best of your life.
Nevertheless, and considering the questions that this may arise, we have prepared these FAQs about the difference between these kinds of tours.
Which is the cheapest way to visit the Galapagos?
All of the cruises are all-inclusive, which means that inside the rate everything will be covered, from the meals, drinks (save for alcoholic beverages), to the guided-excursions, night accommodation, and inter-island transfers.
On the other hand, land-based tours not always have everything included in the rate, meaning that most dinners will have to be covered by you, apart from the per person expense of the daily tour and transfers, which does not necessarily means that hotel-based will be more expensive.
In the chart below, you will see referral prices of the average cost per day of land-based tours vs. cruises (in US Dollars):
Will I see the same visitor sites?
Most of the visitor sites seen in both tours will be the same. However, due to cruising time, boats are able to reach some islands that cannot be seen on a land-based tour. This happens because most of the traveling while onboard a cruise occurs at night. Therefore, while you sleep the vessel can reach longer distances.
Is a cruise as comfortable as a hotel?
This is a tricky question. When choosing a good vessel, like the ones suggested by our Travel Experts, you will be comfortable while cruising, anyhow, sea roughness has to be always considered. On the other hand, and indisputably sleeping on land will always be stable and comfortable.
Where does the tricky part come? Transferring between islands occurs aboard speedboats, which can be a really bumpy ride, that can last from 2 to 3 hours.
Above all, these are the most important things to consider when booking a tour to the Galapagos Islands. In order to customize your Galapagos trip, so it can fit your budget and your time, it is highly recommended to receive free-online assistance from one of our Ecuador & Galapagos experts.

Galápagos Multisport
Overall I had a great time, but there were certain aspects that kept it from being exceptional. A big one was the overpriced optional snorkeling tour. It was marked up $30 over normal ($110 vs. $80). The tour is on Isabela Island. On arrival after check in there will be free time before dinner. I recommend taking this time to shop around the tour operators and book on your own. Separately, I recommend bringing your own snorkel equipment. There are a few opportunities to snorkel right off the beach apart from the group, and also the contracted snorkel companies could not be relied upon to have the appropriate size fins, especially for women.

Ultimate Galapagos: Central Islands (Grand Daphne)
I booked Intrepid's 'Ultimate Galapagos' tour and went in 2017. Whilst the tour was great, it was somewhat blighted by the aircon in our room on the boat being broken, meaning our room smelt so strongly we couldn't keep the door closed for long periods of time and woke up to an unpleasant stench every morning (we had to close the door to sleep). We also woke up to dripping wet walls and soggy belonging as it leaked a lot. We flagged this when we got on the boat as the smell was unmissable, the crew (who were lovely) advised this was an issue with the room that couldn't be fixed during our stay unfortunately as it needed to be taken to another island. So we made the best of it, constantly hung our clothes off the back of the boat to dry them to wear the next day, and kept our door open as much as possible, as there was no alternative. When I got back I naturally picked this up with Intrepid, being disappointed that this was a known issue not flagged or fixed before our stay, on the holiday of a lifetime. Especially given we'd paid more for a top deck room, which turned out to be far worse than the cheaper rooms on the lower deck (which didn't have broken aircon). Intrepid offered a 15% discount if I booked with them again, given they are constantly promoting discounts this isn't helpful. Plus given the experience I had with them, there was no way I was going to consider booking my next holiday (for my 30th) with them, and risking another subpar experience (compared to the other guests and advertised trip) just for a discount. I suspect I was just unlucky, and the Galapagos itself was amazing, but it was very annoying having wet belongings and a very unpleasant smelling room for the whole 8 days, and I'd have expected them to handle it better on such an expensive tour. Overall disappointed with Interpid's customer service.

What people love about Galapagos Islands Tours from Quito
This tour is intended for people who are physically fit,able to walk 6 kilometers a day, love to kayak/snorkel/swim/bike, and still have plenty of energy to enjoy the wildlife. I cannot cope up with the group, but luckily our CEO offered me options like museum visit, tour to Tntoreras. I still was able yo see all the wildlife I need to see exvept the cormorant. I did not expect to stay in a 5 star hotel. I find the accommodation suitable enough for my needs: comfortable bed, air condition, water, electricity, wifi. Special thanks to Sandra, CEO. She is one of the best tour guides I met in my years of travel. She is a great listener and teacher. She was born in Santa Cruz. She knows Galapagos like the palm of her hand.
Amazing experience, and our guide was so knowledgeable and resourceful.

17 of the best Galapagos tours
From multiday cruises to jam-packed day trips, there are more tour options than ever before in ecuador’s exhilarating island chain.
I n a world where “unique” has ceased to mean much, the word remains worthwhile when applied to the Galapagos Islands — there are dozens of species found nowhere else living on this Ecuadorian archipelago. The majority of its extraordinary menagerie evolved here before the arrival of people in the 1500s so remain unusually curious; even amateur photographers can feel as though they’re part of a National Geographic expedition here.
Darwin’s finches, marine iguanas and gregarious sea lions are all permanent residents in Puerto Ayora’s port, as blue-footed boobies and brown pelicans swerve black-tip reef sharks while dive-bombing the water for smaller marine life. The fact that wildlife viewing like this is possible in the islands’ biggest town is a clue as to how much wilder things are when you take an organised tour — either overnight on a ship, staying in a local hotel, or even just jumping on a bike.
Times Travel has partnered with Tourhub to bring our readers a wide selection of escorted tours from trusted travel partners. Here, we’ve selected the very best tours that showcase the Galapagos. For a bigger selection, visit Tourhub .
Main photo: Bartolome island (Alamy)
1. Central and East Islands, G Adventures
It’s hard to properly fathom, but the youngest of the Galapagos Islands are in the west, the oldest in the east, and the whole archipelago is slowly being dragged under the South American continent. Essentially, this means that the oldest islands, including Espanola and San Cristobal, have had the longest for life to evolve on them. This ten-day tour includes visits to both, giving you plenty of opportunities to snorkel, hike and, if you’re lucky, meet some incredibly rare waved albatross.

2. Bartolome Island full-day tour, Viator
For a short but action-packed day tour, Bartolome is an excellent option within easy reach from the main town of Puerto Ayora. Views from its parched peak are so gorgeous they were used in the 2003 film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World . Once you’ve finished the hot hike and snapped a couple of photos, snorkelling is a great way to cool off. White-tip reef sharks are common, as are sea lions, but the highlight for many will be the chance to spot and perhaps even swim with some endemic Galapagos penguins.
Group size 1+ Price £
3. Galapagos experience, Intrepid
Despite having a fraction of the population of Santa Cruz, San Cristobal is the capital of the Galapagos and the place Charles Darwin first set foot on the archipelago. This tour starts on that remarkable island, but unlike many others also affords some time to explore on your own. Highlights include the raucous sea lion beach just south of the main town of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno and the excellent museum with accompanying coastal walkways. You’ll know you’re in the right spot if you see the gigantic statue of old Charles on a scenic clifftop.
Group size 1-15 Price £
4. Upgraded land Galapagos with Quito, G Adventures
Floreana is the smallest of the inhabited Galapagos islands, with just a tiny community eking out a life here. The island’s history is quite unlike any other, having been home to pirates, whalers, seal hunters and buccaneers. Today, a favourite pit stop for tourists is the pirate’s post box. As well as leaving your own card there, this itinerary gives you the chance to meet and dine with some of Floreana island’s residents before going for a snorkel off its white-sand shores.
Group size 12-16 Price ££
5. Tortuga Bay, Viator
Half an hour’s walk from downtown Puerto Ayora, Tortuga Bay is one of South America’s most remarkable beaches. Flawless white sand populated with pelicans, marine iguanas, and Sally Lightfoot crabs, it’s popular with surfers and anyone who wants to feel the rawness of the Pacific Ocean. This organised day tour comes back to town later in the day before going to the Charles Darwin Research Station, where you can learn about some of the extraordinary conservation projects around the islands and visit the strange mausoleum of Lonesome George, a giant Pinta tortoise who was the last survivor of his subspecies.
6. Galapagos island hopping, Uniquely Galapagos
Cruising has long been the best way to explore the archipelago, but even before the pandemic there was growing interest in land-based tours. This eight-day sampler is a good example of how you can use boats to get around without having to do it overnight. Included on the diverse itinerary are trips to the islands of Isabela and San Cristobal, as well as hikes, visits to giant-tortoise sanctuaries and the sensational beach at Tortuga Bay.
Group size 2+ Price £

7. Galapagos and Quito enchantments, Metropolitan Touring
As well as the wonders of the Galapagos, this tour includes a day trip to Quito, Ecuador ’s remarkable capital, to reveal the profound difference between that high-altitude colonial city and the altogether wilder world of the Galapagos. Itineraries vary according to weather conditions, but when possible, tours include a visit to the striking bay in Santa Fe, home to healthy populations of sea lions and Galapagos hawks.
Group size 2+ Price ££

8. Ecuador and Galapagos adventure, Latin Routes
Jam-pack nine days in Ecuador with this itinerary designed to maximise your time. You’ll be quite literally breathless at the high altitudes of Quito and even more so at the beautiful Cotopaxi, where you can hike to 4,800m (15,750ft) above sea level. The trip to the Galapagos will feel like a journey to another dimension by comparison, though it too will provide a chance to hike volcanoes on Isabela Island.
Group size up to 16 Price £

9. Pinzon Island day tour, Community Adventures Ecuador
Another of the islands easily reached during a day trip from Santa Cruz, Pinzon isn’t on the itineraries of most of the large cruise ships that traverse the archipelago. It’s popular with snorkellers, who book to swim with sea turtles and playful sea lions, but perhaps a bigger prize is seeing marine iguanas swimming in the ocean. The only species of iguana to brave the water, these remarkable lizards confused and entertained the great Charles Darwin when he visited here in the 19th century.
communityadventures-ec.com
10. Galapagos express island hopping, Uniquely Galapagos
If you’re still unsure about spending days and nights aboard a cruise ship — or you’re feeling squeezed for time — this four-day tour of islands close to Santa Cruz may well suit. Excursions include visits to North Seymour and Bartolome islands as well as a visit up to Santa Cruz’s remarkable highlands. It might not sound like the most comprehensive tour, but it’ll still allow you to see some of the islands’ volcanic make-up, as well as meet giant tortoises and possibly Galapagos penguins too.
11. Kicker Rock, Galapagos Low Cost
If you’re confident in the water and have a little experience of free-diving, a trip out to Kicker Rock will be a highlight of your Galapagos adventure; the island looks extraordinary above the water but below the surface it’s otherworldly. Galapagos and hammerhead sharks are frequently spotted, as are eagle and spotted rays. Find a school of sardines close to the sheer cliffs and there’s a chance to swim through the middle, briefly putting your life inside a Christmas bauble.
galapagoslowcost.com
12. Wolf and Darwin, Galapatours
While many of the Galapagos Islands are great for snorkelling, far-flung Wolf and Darwin islands are dream destinations for scuba divers. Landings aren’t possible on these protected islands and with the travel distances involved, live-aboard boats are the only viable option for visiting at all. Why make all that effort? For the near guarantee of seeing vast schools of hammerhead sharks, as well as the chance to meet migrating whale sharks, dolphins and even sperm whales.
Group size up to 14 Price ££
galapatours.com
13. Sierra Negra, Visit Galapagos
Rising from the back of Puerto Villamil, the only significant settlement on colossal Isabela Island, Sierra Negra is every bit the imposing black mountain its name suggests. The active volcano has spectacularly erupted twice in the last couple of decades and smoulders constantly as a reminder. The hike to its lava-blasted rim is mercifully gentle and, with the right guide, fascinating, as the island’s volcanology and unique flora and fauna are explained en route. Look out for some of Darwin’s rarer finches along the way.
Group size up to 6 Price £

14. Luxury Peru and Galapagos, Journey Latin America
Diving into journey-of-a-lifetime territory, this mega-tour includes what are generally regarded to be two of the world’s greatest and most singular destinations: the Galapagos and mighty Machu Picchu. The Peruvian leg includes time in Cusco and the Sacred Valley, plus a little time in Lima before heading up to the popular market town of Otavalo in northern Ecuador. After that, it’s out to the islands where guests will start a five-night Galapagos cruise with a final flight back to Guayaquil.

15. Santa Cruz Island eco community adventure, Uniquely Galapagos
If you’re as interested in the people of the Galapagos as you are the animals, then a tour like this will be ideal. The islands have a population of around 30,000, and most people are either involved in tourism or conservation or both. This tour gives you the chance to meet those working at research centres, giant-tortoise breeding projects, and even the island’s first microbrewery. It’s not all chat: you’ll also get a chance to snorkel and cycle, as well as join in a cooking class.
Group size 2-8 Price ££
16. Highlights of Colombia, Ecuador and Galapagos, Audley
With the journey to the Galapagos from the UK being so long, you may well want to maximise your time in South America with an itinerary such as this 16-day epic. The first couple of nights are spent in Quito in the Andes, followed by five unforgettable days sailing around the Galapagos. From there, it’s a hop on to Guayaquil and up to the Colombian capital of Bogota, topped off with some days in coffee country, and lastly up to the gorgeous city of Cartagena on the Caribbean coast.

17. Finch Bay diving, Metropolitan Touring
You’ll need to take a boat to reach the Finch Bay Hotel, perhaps the best of the luxury hotels in Puerto Ayora. With a private beach and one of the best restaurants on Santa Cruz, it’d be easy to fall into a habit of just lounging around the hotel, but they also have outstanding diving trips, starting and ending at the hotel, allowing for levels of comfort you simply won’t find on a live-aboard. You may not go as far afield, but can nonetheless expect to see sharks, sea lions and hopefully marine iguanas in the water.

Hace unos cinco millones de años, las erupciones volcánicas iniciaron la formación de unas pequeñas islas en la inmensidad del Pacífico: Las Galápagos. Las gigantescas tortugas de aspecto prehistórico, las iguanas, los piqueros y otros animales de una belleza excepcional desarrollan su actividad en una zona que parece olvidada por el tiempo. Y lo hacen igual que años atrás, cuando el naturalista Charles Darwin encontró aquí inspiración para formular sus teorías sobre la evolución. Las Islas Galápagos , Patrimonio de la Humanidad, conservan una de las reservas biológicas más importantes del mundo, y todos los adultos y niños del Ecuador y del mundo, están invitados a descubrirlas y vivir una experiencia única de naturaleza e historia. Disfrútalas, sólo por Solcaribe.

"Another outstanding and memorable visit to Ecuador with Paul and Andesconexion. Everything just worked from our arrival to our departure. Ecuador (and Paul) continue to amaze us we look forward tocoming back again very soon" Peter & Lorna Horrell, England
Ecuador is is a place of exquisite beauty, and our enjoyment was amplified by our guide, Paul. He drove us through Quito, Rio Bamba, and the Avenue of Volcanoes, to Cuenca. We would have stumbled around lost if not for him. He greeted us like an old friend, and expertly drove us around the country. Ecuador is so diverse, having Paul was both necessary, and enjoyable. We look forward to our next visit. Frese, Alabama USA

Our mainland operations are considered one of the most dynamic due to the flexibility we provide to pick and choose the best extensions before or after our cruise trip. Ecuador is a small and unique territory that has it all! It is a designated Mega-diverse country, holding many world biodiversity records per unit area. A reduced size makes travel easy, efficient and enjoyable. Within a few hours, one can drive from the snowline of an active volcano westwards to a vast stand of mangroves on the ocean or east to the lowland Amazon Rainforest! Our colonial architecture is outstanding; at a human level, Ecuador is a melting pot of more than a dozen fascinating indigenous cultures. We could also arrange tours connecting other countries in the region as a pre/post tour for an extended stay.

10 Amazing Adventures To Have In Ecuador (Besides The Galapagos Islands!)
- Ecuador offers a wide range of natural beauty, from mountains to rainforests, making it a perfect destination for outdoor adventures.
- The country's rich history and diverse cultures add to its appeal, with ancient sites and traditional crafts like hat weaving offering unique experiences.
- From paragliding over Ayangue's cliffs to exploring vibrant towns like Montanita and Buijo, there is no shortage of exciting activities to enjoy in Ecuador beyond the famous Galapagos Islands.
Ecuador is a country of untapped adventure. Around the world, Ecuador is famous for its rich natural beauty, its cuisine, and its welcoming people, and is often called South America's most breathtaking country . This country, situated right on the equator, is one of many different environmental biomes, including mountains, shorelines, rainforests, and dry forests, all of which are home to many unique pockets of wildlife and diverse human communities.
Historically, Ecuador has been known for its many diverse cultures, from the Incan Empire in the 16th century CE that flourished in the mountains to the coastal Valdivia Culture that sailed up and down the coast of South America in the 2000s BCE. In the modern era, tourists will find the people of Ecuador to be especially kind, charming, and welcoming.
Many of Ecuador's best adventures focus on the country's natural beauty. As the first nation in the entire world to give nature its own rights, Ecuador is committed to creating and maintaining the natural environment that is beloved by locals and tourists alike.
Although the Galapagos Islands are one of Ecuador's most important natural environments (popularized because of the voyage of Charles Darwin), there are plenty of amazing things to do in Ecuador other than the Galapagos Islands - and this list will only include adventures on the mainland. And there's no lack of them, indeed!
Whether a tourist's idea of adventure is one of a thrill-seeking paragliding experience, trying a new delicious dish, or just relaxing on an unfamiliar beach, Ecuador has the perfect adventure for everyone. Find out more about what to do in Ecuador by sampling the country's best adventures (and none are the Galapagos Islands, surprisingly!).
Go Birding And Explore An Ancient Incan Tunnel At Hacienda Jimenita
Who would have guessed that a natural conservation center could be only 15 minutes away from the airport in Quito? Hacienda Jimenita is a wildlife reserve and hotel that offers tourists the chance to see some of Ecuador's most beautiful mountain landscapes.
What draws tourists to this location initially is its wildlife. Coming here, tourists will find many species of Ecuadorian birds, including saffron finches, some of the most beautiful hummingbirds one can imagine (like the western emerald), hawks, black-tailed trainbearers, warblers, and even condors if they're lucky.
One of the best things that this center offers is the chance to see these birds up close at the many feeders that are hanging around the gardens. Tourists can dine on delicious Ecuadorian food as they watch emerald green hummingbirds flit from feeder to feeder!
Not only does the conservation center have a plethora of birds, but the center also has farm animals, like llamas and chickens, and many unique plants. The gardens here are truly incredible, and the location boasts an excellent koi pond. The fishpond is a true delight!

Staying here offers tourists the chance to experience the Hacienda's delectable meals, its charming hacienda decor, its homey atmosphere, and its impressive gardens.
One highlight for tourists who want to stay here is the long and winding Incan tunnel that runs under the site. This tunnel, thought to have been built a thousand years ago, is an impressive feat of ancient engineering that tourists can see firsthand on a guided tour.
As they walk through the dark passageway, the only light coming from the flashlight of the guide behind them, visitors will be able to catch a small sliver of life during Incan times. Emerging from the tunnel to a view of the gorges and mountainsides of Quito, visitors will feel a renewed sense of their connection with human history and their place in it.

Catch Waves In Montanita
Montanita is an adorable town on Ecuador's Pacific Coast that is known internationally for its surfing, bars, restaurants, and clubs. While often compared to Mexico's Playa del Carmen for its party scene, this town offers so much more than just its incredible bars and clubs.

Learn About Hat Weaving In Montecristi
One of Ecuador's most important icons is the Montecristi Hats (sometimes referred to as Panama hats). These woven hats, which come in a variety of sizes and shapes, are known for their expert craftsmanship, significance to Ecuadorian culture, and their place in the local economy of this magnificent country. The hats get their name from the town of Montecristi in the Manabí province.
Woven from the fibers of the toquilla palm, these hats take an extraordinary amount of work to complete. The length of time and the amount of work that goes into them depends on the size of the fibers; a skilled hat-weaver with larger fibers can make one in about two weeks, while a hat-weaver with the smallest fibers can take up to 8 months on a single hat. The amount of work, care, and love that goes into each of these hats truly makes them worth the high price. On top of that, they're a great way to support the local businesses of Ecuador!
One of the best hat-weaving shops in Ecuador is Toquifina in the town of Montecristi. Not only will tourists to this shop be able to see the incredible display of hats for purchase, but they'll be able to get a firsthand look at how these hats are made!
