Itinerary
All passengers need to arrive at the agency at 8h00 in the morning, where you will meet their driver who will take you to your first visit site.
The first site known as Los Gemelos are two craters that were formed when the islands were in volcanic activity. Here you will be able to observe the endemic generation of Santa Cruz Island, scale trees, Darwin’s finches, the witch bird and the Aves Marias. At the end of the tour, we will come back to the transport to continue with our second visit site.
El Chato is a private reserve located in the upper part of Santa Cruz Island. In this site inhabit a number of specimens of giant Galapagos tortoises in their natural habitat. Here we will take a tour accompanied by the Naturalist Guide who will give you a brief explanation about the flora and fauna of the place. For example, you will be able to observe endemic vegetation, giant tortoises feeding, mating, sleeping or walking.
After that you will go to the transport to continue towards Lava Tunnels.
The Lava Tunnels are also part of the attraction of El Chato Reserve, these are natural formations of volcanic eruptions. Here you will do an impressive tour inside these tunnels of about 2000 meters long where you will be able to observe stalactites and bats.
The return to the port is at approximately 13h00 in the afternoon.
