Resplan
Turen börjar tidigt på morgonen efter att vi hämtat dig från ditt hotell i Isabela, efter det fortsätter du att ta en promenad i vulkanen Chico ligger nordväst om pannan, så den påverkas inte av dimman som alltid forsar in den sydöstra delen av de höga öarna. Det är en av anledningarna till att Chico Volcano är i perfekt skick och även kan uppskattas av besökarna när det är bra sikt och sol. Den 22 oktober 2005 inträffade ett utbrott som tog en vecka på nordöstra sidan av vulkanen Sierra Negra. Lavaflödet täckte stora delar av pannans insida och steg på vissa ställen mer än två meter.
Sierra Negra-vulkanen anses vara den äldsta av vulkanerna på Isabela. Enligt vissa geologer, inklusive Nordlie, medan bredare och grundare är en, är den äldsta pannan. Den når denna slutsats genom en teori och observationer tyder på att de vulkaniska processerna i en panna tenderar att riva ner dess kant och fylla henne. Denna aktivitet kännetecknas av skakningar och utbrott som sker under loppet av tusentals och miljoner år.

Excellent hike, guide, tour via ISATOUREX on Isabela. Flawless, interesting, scenic, healthy. On-time pick-up, bilingual Guide, great transport, very cool to hike through rainforest, down into volcano basin, and through active sulphur fields. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Dear joseph, We're thrilled you enjoyed your tour on Isabela Island. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!
This excursion involves a 10 mile hike up past the crater of a volcano to fields of lava rock. The landscape of lava is beautiful and very worth seeing. However, it was raining when we went, and the hike was unpleasant. Very muddy, slippery at times. And the crater views were not visible because of fog.
Hi Jennifer! We are sorry to hear the weather did not cooperate this day, sadly that's out of our control. We hope you had a good time in Galápagos either way :)
Great views after a steady incline walk to Sierra Negra. Totally walking was 9 miles. Didn’t really see the reward of walking to Boca Chica volcano versus the extra effort. Guides were good.
Hi Jason! We are glad you had a good time :) we hope to see you again soon!
No matter how many photos you see of the Sierra Negra, seeing it in person is awe inspiring. Add to that the excellent historical facts shared by our guide, Paola, and this became a great adventure. I was also amazed at how Paola took the time to connect which each person in the tour with a joke here, a historical fact there, and one-on-one conversations to make the trip worthwhile. Do heed the instructions to carry lots of water and be ready for a long trek. We were lucky to visit in September and can't imagine how strenuous it is in the middle of summer (Paola does it every day!). Remember when you go downhill, an uphill is soon to come :)
I originally had this and the Tintoreras tour scheduled with this agency, but when I was going to do the Tintoreras tour, the water was too rough and they offered to switch the times of the two tours, instead so I did the Sierra Negra tour the day before I intended to. This tour was amazing! The hike towards Sierra Negra wasn't too bad but the views of the caldera and the view of the north side of the island and Fernandina was great too! The guide I had was really knowledgeable and cool to talk to.
We didn't do all the kicking, but it was worth it without a doubt. Of course, we must go soon because the heat is too tight and I would recommend with a good guide, that we had it.
Rushed hike up the mountain! The guide picked us up 45 minutes late, only after we called the tour office and reminded them we were waiting. The tour company also included a group that had to be back for the three pm boat. So leaving late and with a time constraint the guide rushed us up the trail. No time to describe the vegetation or wildlife. He quickly ran ahead with the group that had a 3 pm boat. We hiked at a normal pace and enjoyed the hike. Questionable why we paid for the guide. It was a fairly easy trail. Perhaps hire a taxi and do it on your own. Schedule a taxi to pick you up 4 to 5 hours later.
Our guide was great! The hike of about 16km was not strenuous and takes about 5 hours. We would recommend getting ready for any weather, as everything from blazing sun to fog and light rain can be there on the track.
The tour itself was nice, but the guide was 3 hours late - we tried calling the company, but were told to wait "a little longer". After a two hour wait they gave us two options: Go on the tour tomorrow, or wait another 30 min. for a new tour. We had tickets for the boat to Santa Cruz same day, so we chose waiting. After an hour our guide arrived. In all fairness, the guide we had tried his best to make up for lost time, but it felt a bit rushed.
