Established in 1959 and starting operations in 1968, Galápagos National Park is the first of its kind in Ecuador. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it makes up approximately 97% of the Galápagos Islands.

Our Ecotourism program is ideal if you're interested in environmental management and passionate about promoting ecology through tourism. Acquire hands-on experience working in the park’s Communications Department. As a volunteer, you'll go to the park’s visitor sites to give satisfaction questionnaires to visitors. You'll also provide tourism-related information in situ as well as generate a statistical database from your surveys. This is a wonderful opportunity if you're pursuing a career in ecotourism and environmental management.
