The Sierra Negra Volcano and Sulfur Mines tour by vehicle is a unique adventure that will allow you to explore some of the most impressive landscapes of Isabela Island in the Galápagos. This tour combines hiking, geology, nature, and local culture in a complete experience, ideal for adventure lovers and responsible tourism enthusiasts.

Visit to Sierra Negra Volcano and the Sulfur Mines

The day begins with the pickup of passengers at their respective accommodations. From there, we drive to the high part of the island, specifically to the Tomás de Berlanga area. The journey takes approximately 30 minutes to the Galápagos National Park checkpoint, and then another 20 minutes to the rest stop, where the hike begins.

The hike to the fumaroles is 3 km there and 3 km back, lasting approximately 2 hours. The trail begins with a descent down a staircase that leads to the edge of the Sierra Negra Volcano caldera, one of the largest and most active craters in the world. During the tour, you will be accompanied by certified naturalist tour guides who will provide information about the geology of the site, its eruptive history, and the ecological importance of the area.

The main destination is the Sulfur Mines, a fascinating site where you can observe active fumaroles emitting volcanic vapors and gases. The steaming ground, the smell of sulfur, and the mysterious atmosphere create an unforgettable experience. The geological formations surrounding the area look like something from another planet and are the result of centuries of volcanic activity. It is important to follow the tour guide's instructions at all times, as some areas may be restricted for safety and conservation reasons.

Stop at the Sucre Cave

After visiting the fumaroles, the tour continues to the Sucre Cave. It is accessed by a 480-meter trail surrounded by vegetation typical of the humid zone. Inside the cave, you will be immersed in the interior of a volcanic island, observing stalactites and stalagmites formed by water filtration over time. This part of the tour allows for a more intimate connection with the geology of Isabela and offers a different, quieter, and more magical exploration experience.

Agritourism at a local farm

To end the tour, you will visit a local farm where you will learn about the island's agricultural practices. You will have the opportunity to tour tropical fruit crops and native plants and learn about the sustainable techniques used by local farmers. In addition, you will be able to taste fresh products harvested directly from the farm, enjoying the authentic flavors of the Galapagos.

This tour offers a perfect combination of hiking, volcano viewing, underground exploration, and contact with rural life.
