Why the Galápagos has its own time
Ecuador spans 2 time zones, so the answer depends on where in it you mean. the Galápagos covers Galapagos Islands and is 1 hour behind Guayaquil, which is the zone most people mean by “the time in Ecuador”.
the Galápagos does not observe daylight saving, so its offset from UTC never moves. Its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead.
