History
Puerto Baquerizo Moreno developed as a port and whaling stop; the island later became a hub for scientific visits and Galápagos conservation efforts.
Conservation
The Galápagos National Park requires staying on marked paths and not disturbing wildlife; avoid bringing soil on shoes or gear to reduce invasive species risk.

Check battery range before departure
Start fully charged and plan stops so you return with at least 20% battery—hills and headwinds reduce range.
Respect wildlife distances
Do not approach or feed sea lions and birds; sudden stops near animals can stress them and risk injury.
Sun protection is critical
UV is strong near the equator—wear sunscreen, sunglasses and a brimmed hat under your helmet.
Bring small repair kit
Carry a spare tube or patch, tire levers and a pump; shops on the island are limited outside town.
Helmet
Protects your head on mixed surfaces and is often required by local providers.
Hydration pack or water bottle
Sustains you through sun and wind-exposed sections where shade is limited.
Sunscreen & sunglasses
High UV exposure on open roads and beaches makes protection essential.
