The new airport was designed with the environment in consideration. It was constructed from recycled Amazonian mining steel and utilizes green energy such as solar and wind power.

"Galapagos Alternative did an excellent job is organizing this trip. This was truly VIP treatment from start to finish. Someone met us at the airport and we waited in the VIP lounge while they got up our luggage and then we were off to our hotel."
