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. 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. You'll walk along trails and encounter these reptiles, which can grow up to a meter and a half long and weigh over 250 kilos (551 pounds). You'll observe them eating, rolling in the mud, and moving around the area, providing opportunities for impressive photographs.

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

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