Seniora Patricia operates a small laundry in Avenida Padre Julio Herrera, next to the IETEL office.
Also Sefiora Lusitania next to the Casablanca Restaurant in Calle Charles Darwin.
Wendy (six blocks up Ave. Baltra, just one house down on the left on Ave. 18th de Febrero – across from Ferriteria Roca). Recommended by cruisers.
There is a laundry down the alley off the main road, where she did a super job and was very reasonable.
Provisions
Because prices tend to be much higher than in mainland Ecuador, it is advisable to provision the boat for the onward passage in either Panama or at Salinas and only plans to stock up with whatever fresh produce may be available locally.
Supplies at both Puerto Ayora and Baquerizo Moreno have improved and the choice is surprisingly good. A lot of vegetables are now produced locally, so provisioning a boat for the onward passage is no longer a problem. There are individual farmers on both islands who will take orders for fresh produce. Fresh bread is also available.
There is a very good local market just north of town.
Frozen food store “El Frio” has good quality frozen meats, vegetables and cheeses and more at excellent prices.
There is a large supermarket by the main docks and a Mega Primavera on Petrel and Duncan streets.
Galadistribution (Tel: 09 174 4367), located three streets down Calle Charles Binford from Ave. Baltra (on the road to Tortuga Bay), distributes hard and aged cheeses on the island. Owned by Chris – a Kiwi transplant – who speaks English. They also have a deli and wine selection.
Bakery – Panaderia a Rico Pan located on the Calle Indefatigable, Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz – Tel +1 (954)252 6005

Important information for all cruisers who are planning to visit Galapagos Islands: when choosing the agent never ever go for Ronny Sanches, Tironne S.A. We have a very bad experience in March 2018, our passports as well as boat passport was stolen from his office and he even didn’t inform us about that immediately. His phone numbers and office address are wrong in his business card and it was very difficult to cooperate with him.
in fact we traveled in the month of October, and that agent took care of us perfect, besides that we saved budget, unlike other local agents of galapagos.
