Cần Quan Tâm

Volcan Chico

The tour starts early in the morning after we picked you up from your hotel in Isabela, after that you will proceed to take a walk in the Volcan Chico is located northwest of the boiler, so it is not affected by the mist that always rushes in the southeast sector of the high islands. This is one of the reasons why Chico Volcano is in perfect condition and can also be appreciated by visitors when there is good visibility and sun. On the northeast side of the Sierra Negra volcano caldera on 22 October 2005 there was an eruption that took one week. The lava flow covered much of the inside of the boiler and in some places rose more than two meters.

Sierra Negra

The Sierra Negra volcano is considered the oldest of the volcanoes on Isabela. According to some geologists, including Nordlie, while wider and shallower is one, oldest boiler is. It reaches this conclusion through a theory and observations indicate that the volcanic processes in a boiler tend to tear down its edge, filling her. This activity is characterized by tremors and eruptions that are occurring in the course of thousands and millions of years.

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.
Great to see. Wouldn’t walk to Boca Chica though.

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.
A great experience made much better by our guide, Paola.

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 had to change the time of this tour due to another tour I had with them, but it all worked out great!

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.
Even without climbing the volcano it is worth it.

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!

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.
Must sees!

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.
Guide was 3 hours late

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.
