Casa Alexita
The second land base of the archipelago: a smaller town than Puerto Ayora, with the island airport (SCY) right there — an easy first or last night of a Galápagos trip.

Casa Alexita
San Cristóbal has the airport inside the town, which makes a cheap first night here unusually useful: you land at SCY, pay the $220 that every foreign adult pays on arrival, and you are already where you sleep — no crossing, no transfer worth the name. Casa Alexita is in the budget band of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, the smaller of the two land bases. Rooms, facilities and current terms are on the property’s own Booking.com page.
Best for: Travellers landing or leaving at SCY, and anyone who prefers the smaller of the two bases.

Good to know
- San Cristóbal’s airport (SCY) is at Puerto Baquerizo Moreno itself, so arrival and departure days cost no extra crossing; flights come from Quito (UIO) and Guayaquil (GYE).
- On arrival each foreign adult pays $200 for the Galápagos National Park entry tribute plus $20 for the Transit Control Card: $220 in cash, collected at the airport and never included in tour prices (nor are the flights from the mainland).
- Itineraries, visitor sites and wildlife sightings are never guaranteed: the National Park assigns the sites and the sea decides whether a crossing sails.
