At 2:45 pm, we'll pick you up from your hotel to head to the Santa Cruz highlands.

The first stop will be at Rancho Primicias, a place to see the giant tortoises that give the archipelago its name. We'll learn about these reptiles while observing them in their natural habitat.

Afterwards, we'll explore the lava tunnels of Santa Cruz. We'll take a walk through these geological formations and experience their uniqueness.

We'll then visit the Twin Craters, unique sinkholes formed by a volcanic depression over the years. In this area, we'll also see typical highland vegetation such as escalesias, mosses, and orchids.

The tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel at 6:15 pm.
