Carbon Footprint Offset: Travel That Gives Back

Galapagos Travel Center's 100% carbon-neutral initiative is possible through the partnership with the Jocotoco Conservation Foundation and the Buenaventura Protected Reserve. This foundation promotes reforestation and conservation efforts that offsets greenhouse gas emissions. For every passenger that travels with us, we offset 1.5 tons of CO2.

How do we calculate our carbon footprint?

  • Flights to and from Galapagos for our passengers
  • Emissions generated during our passengers' Galapagos cruises
  • Emissions generated in office: electricity and car fuel for staff commutes.
