Accommodation
HOTELS: Hotel rooms should be booked at least a week in advance. Outside the main towns a more or less standard price is charged per person for one night in a provision residencia, or a hotel. There is, however, a minimum charge per person. A ten per cent service charge and five per cent tax are added to upper- and middle-range hotel bills. Cheaper hotels usually charge five per cent at the most. Hotel accommodation is very limited on the Galápagos Islands. Further information is available through the national hotel association, Federación Hotelera del Ecuador (AHOTEC), Avenida América 5378, Quito (tel: (2) 244 3425; fax: (2) 245 3942; e-mail: ahotec@interactive.net.ec).
Grading: Hotels in Ecuador have been graded into three main categories according to standard and price bracket. All categories provide at least basic facilities.
CAMPING/CARAVANNING: Camping facilities in Ecuador are run by US or European agencies, but these are very limited. Camping is forbidden on the Galápagos Islands.
