Galápagos cooking leans on seafood, with ceviche, grilled fish and lobster joined by plantain, rice and Ecuadorian sauces, so a meal here fits the local pattern. Flights from Quito and Guayaquil to Baltra and San Cristóbal bring visitors into the archipelago, and onward travel by boat or small plane connects the towns. The islands are almost entirely national park, with settlement confined to four inhabited islands, which keeps Puerto Ayora compact and walkable. A cool mist known as the garúa settles over the highlands of the larger islands during the dry season, adding a grey layer to the interior.
