Trekking in the Galapagos; a unique combination of the wildlife, volcanoes and geology of the Enchanted Isles

Trekking on Isabela Island, Galapágos

Isabela, the largest island in the Galapagos, is the only place in the entire archipelago where extended trekking is possible. A unique environment, it is one of the last remaining habitats of the giant Galapagos Tortoise, is home to many interesting species of endemic wildlife and boasts five major volcanoes. As well as trekking on the recently active Volcan Chico in the Sierra Negra, we also make shorter hikes on several other islands. A unique trip to a truly unusual and fascinating part of the world.
