At the bottom, you’ll walk through ancient lava chambers, observe intact quartz crystals and petrified lichens, and learn about the volcanic forces that shaped Galápagos over hundreds of thousands of years. After the ascent, continue with a scenic hike along the rim of the three interconnected craters, where you’ll safely observe deep volcanic tunnels and enjoy sweeping views of the coastline and Pacific Ocean, a thrilling and unforgettable experience.
