TOUR DETAILS

HIGHLAND TOUR

We will begin our trip by land until we reach our destination called “El Chato”, located in the upper part of Santa Cruz Island.

Upon arrival, we will have the opportunity to observe the emblematic species of the Galapagos Islands, the giant land tortoises. These are found in free areas, such as lagoons, trails and in the beautiful natural landscape of the Upper Part.

We will also explore the lava tunnels. These are hollow rocks type caverns or caves, which allow us to take a walk inside them and take pictures of this beautiful and unique volcanic formation.

These are 2 gigantic inactive craters located under the earth’s surface in the shape of (inverted) cones and formed by a series of volcanic eruptions. Here we can take photos and enjoy this site surrounded by a beautiful Scalesia forest (endemic plant of the place). We will also observe birds such as the Galapagos Finches and the Vermilion Flycatcher, which give life and colour to this beautiful landscape.

  • After this special excursion, we will go to “EL GARRAPATERO” Beach, where we will have our lunch (delicious Galapagueño mixed ceviche) and enjoy this beautiful coastal landscape.

GARRAPATERO BEACH

El Garrapatero beach is a paradise away from any settlement. Its clear water, its subtle waves and its white sand welcome visitors who opt for a quiet day in contact with nature.

El Garrapatero beach is undoubtedly one of the best options to visit within the Enchanted Islands.

Behind the beach is a lagoon where you can find flamingos, black-necked ducks, Galapagos finches and migratory birds.
