At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Santa Cruz Island to start the tour. Once gathered, we'll head towards the higher part of the island.

We'll arrive at the El Chato Ranch, where giant tortoises roam in their natural habitat. We'll walk along trails and encounter these reptiles that can grow up to a meter and a half and weigh over 250 kilos (551 pounds). You'll observe their eating habits, behaviors, and have opportunities to take notable pictures.

Next, we'll walk to the famous lava tunnels of Santa Cruz Island, which are part of this reserve's attractions. The tunnels extend for 2 kilometers, with only 250 meters accessible. We'll enter these formations to explore its passageways.
