The largest crater on Santa Cruz is located on the property as well as the ‘cerro’ which has an extraordinary viewpoint where you are rewarded with a 360 degree view of the island of Santa Cruz. This tour can be combined with a trip to Garrapatero Beach and el Trapiche to make it a full day excursion.

"Galapagos Alternative did an excellent job is organizing this trip. This was truly VIP treatment from start to finish. Someone met us at the airport and we waited in the VIP lounge while they got up our luggage and then we were off to our hotel."
