Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
At 8:00 AM from the Hotel Silberstein, the local guide takes the group towards the Highlands of Santa Cruz.
Driving through the rural area of the island, travelers can experience the agricultural side of the archipelago, as well as the diversity of its landscape. You will be surrounded by wild landscape and various species of the flora and fauna. It is possible to sight the finches that are famous for being the basis of Darwin´s theory of evolution. Watch the famous Galapagos land tortoises in their natural environment and learn how the private ranches aid to protect these special animals and their habitat. Listen to the sounds while they eat the leaves of trees or while they are searching for food. Tortoises of all different ages and sizes gather here - small young tortoises with shining carapaces along with older ones with cracked carapaces, which is a sign of a long life.
The well-known Lava Tunnels are another amazing experience! Formed by the lava floods of the volcanoes, they spread from the highlands down to sea level. The tunnels are collapsed in several spots, however, a track is still intact that allows a 30 minute hike. This will give you an idea of their formation. The local guide will share details and history of these tunnels.
Sunset displays the contrasts of the Island. Return to the hotel in time for dinner.

Good to ideal period to travel, and many people choose to visit at this time.
This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).

I spoke with at least a half dozen other travel companies, looking for a Galapagos cruise that fit our schedule and budget. Some companies could manage one or the other, but Erin was the only one who could do both. She found us the perfect cruise, at a fantastic price! And she has been quick and patient with responses to my many questions. So far, Adventure Life has been a fantastic company to work with!
