El Chato Ranch Giant Tortoise Tour

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Santa Cruz Island to start the tour. Once we're all gathered, we'll set off 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 green trails and encounter these reptiles that can grow up to a meter and a half long and weigh over 250 kilos (551 pounds). You'll see how they eat, roll in the mud and walk through this space, allowing for impressive photo opportunities.

Next, we'll walk to the famous lava tunnels of Santa Cruz Island, which are part of this reserve. These tunnels are 2 kilometers long, although only 250 meters are accessible. We'll enter these natural formations to explore their passageways.

After three hours of enjoying the nature of the Galapagos, we'll drop you back at your hotel in Santa Cruz.
