Galapagos
discounts have a page of their
own, so check there for
discounts, last-minute deals and special
offers on Galapagos cruises, tours and hotels in the islands.
Holidays in the Galapagos are not cheap but you can sometimes
get substantial disounts if you are able to wait until the last minute
for savings on your cruise or tour of the islands.
Money-saving travel tips:
Set
lunches, or "almuerzos", are
often great value for money from
as little as
$1.50 and you might be presented with something delicious you would
never have thought to order from a menu. Wander a little out
of the tourist areas and watch
where the office workers and taxi drivers go for lunch.
You're more
likely to find almuerzos Monday to Friday rather than at weekends.
The
cheapest yummy treat in Quito is a coconut Yogoso at just $0.15.
It's a tube of delicious frozen coconut yoghurt
which you buy from roving Bonice sellers in their branded blue tunics.
They come in cherry, mango or naranjilla flavours too, all
full of artificial colourings, sweetenings and flavourings, but never
mind, they are guaranteed to make you feel you are on holiday.
The Bonice are even cheaper at just ten centavos, but
they're just frozen water with additives really, so splash
out on a Yogoso for a budget treat and tell yourself that yoghurt is a
health food. Enjoy!
Travel
light!
Many products are cheaper in Ecuador than in more developed countries,
so buy toiletries locally rather than lugging them from home.
Save
a few dollars when leaving Ecuador by flying out of Guayaquil
rather than Quito - the Ecuador
departure tax
is cheaper there. It's not a huge saving but if
your
itinerary was going to take you to Guayaquil at some point anyway, you
might as well make the most of the discount.
