Excursion to the Sierra Negra volcano
Sierra Negra is the only major volcano on Isabela whose crater regions are currently open to tourism. Its impressive caldera is the largest of the Galapagos Islands. This quite long and strenuous, but adventurous hike, lets you experience dramatic scenic contrasts.
On the tour to Sierra Negra, you will start the day by boarding a local chiva-ride (an open truck with wooden benches) from Puerto Villamil to the National Park entrance. After crossing a barren lava flow with cacti and passing a flamingo lagoon, the main dirt road leads through Isabela’s surprisingly lush agricultural highlands. While gaining altitude, no fewer than five vegetation zones will be passed.
A trail along the rim of Sierra Negra Volcano leads to a viewpoint where you can try to grasp the incomprehensible dimensions of its caldera (clear weather is unpredictable, but thanks to prevailing winds, fog usually tends to dissolve on approach). Besides this, you will also enjoy watching songbirds amid the steaming volcanic landscapes.
