Description
The perfect combination! The highlights of Isabela in one tour: Trillizos Volcano & Sucre Caves.
Capture unforgettable moments as you emerge to the surface of the volcano!
Via the volcanic highlands, you will have the opportunity to rappel 500 feet down into the crater of an ancient volcano in a unique adventure that will take you to explore the bowels of the Galapagos Islands with our exclusive excursion to the bottom of the Trillizos Volcano on Isabela Island. This fascinating itinerary immerses adventurers in an unparalleled experience, descending 105 meters underground with thrilling rappelling equipment.
The odyssey begins with an intrepid descent, exploring the geological layers that tell the story of the volcanic eruptions that shaped the Galapagos. As we explore, we come face to face with the mineral rich, glowing quartz and unique lichens that formed as a testament to the tumultuous volcanic activity. This excursion to Trillizos Volcano is not only a feat of exploration, but also an opportunity to understand the extraordinary geological history of the Galapagos Islands.
We culminate with a private excursion to Cuevas de Sucre, entering the volcanic depths of Isabela Island. The cave formations are a spectacle, inside the cave there is a deep silence, with a very attractive calm, you can see the walls and ceilings covered by minerals that give it a special golden color. In addition, the surroundings are eternally green. As a curious fact, no one that is known has reached the end of this cave.
The place consists of a path of approximately 480 meters long, which mostly passes through a strip of vegetation typical of the humid zone, crosses through a lava tunnel and at the end reaches the facilities of a forest nursery, which is used to reproduce native and endemic plants.
The main objective of making this site part of the Galapagos Protected Areas is to ecologically restore a rainforest in the agricultural zone of Isabela by eradicating introduced species and reforesting with native and endemic plants.
