The Site list here, is based on information that was originally posted on the website of the Galápagos National Park. This Visitor Sites Guide, provides additional information on the terrestrial and marine sites. The Guide is currently unavailable from the GNP and the pages here were retrieved from the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive.

The original web pages of the GNP site are now continued in part at the Carlos Pi website. Mr. Pi, who was Head of Design & Communications for the Galapagos National Park in 2006-2009, was the original creator of the website.

Mr. Pi's site was the source of Ms. Tui De Roy's beautiful maps for a number of the visitor sites.
