According to an announcement made by the
Ecuador Tourism Ministry, Ecuador will require all visitors to have health insurance starting on May 1, 2018.
This requirement will also be enforced for visitors to the Galapagos Islands, an Ecuadorian province.
If you are planning a trip to Ecuador or the Galapagos, the best way to ensure you are compliant to this new regulation is to purchase a travel insurance policy.
All of RoamRight’s plans meet Ecuador’s health insurance requirement as well as provide coverage for other trip-related mishaps, such as trip cancellation, trip interruption, or baggage damages and delays. In 2017, Ecuador was the second most popular South American travel destination for
RoamRight travelers, behind only Peru.
