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 to the higher part of the island.

At El Chato Ranch, you will observe giant tortoises in their natural habitat. We will walk along green trails to encounter these reptiles, which can grow up to a meter and a half long and weigh over 250 kilos (551 pounds). You will see them eating, rolling in the mud, and walking around, allowing for impressive photo opportunities.

Next, we will explore the famous lava tunnels of Santa Cruz Island, part of this reserve's attractions. The tunnels extend 2 kilometers, but we can access only 250 meters. We will enter these natural formations to go back in time while exploring their passageways.

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