The Galápagos climate splits into a warm, wet season from roughly January to June and a drier, cooler stretch from roughly July to December, so packing for both is sensible. Seafood dominates local cooking, with most produce arriving by air or sea, which keeps menus simple and fresh. Reaching the islands means flying from mainland Ecuador, then moving between them by boat. Spanish is the everyday language, and a few words go a long way in Puerto Ayora.
