Tour details
The Sulphur Mines Volcano Tour, offered by Explorer GPS, invites you to explore one of the most surprising geological settings on Isabela Island. This excursion combines hiking, nature and science, bringing you close to the living force that shaped the Galápagos Islands.
The hike starts from the site known as “La Cadena”, an entry point authorized by Galápagos National Park. From there begins a walk of about 8 kilometers to the crater rim, along trails surrounded by the typical vegetation of Isabela's highlands. Along the way you can see plants such as guava, ferns and endemic shrubs, as well as lava lizards and mockingbirds, endemic birds known for their curiosity and distinctive song.

The atmosphere is breathtaking: active fumaroles release warm steam while the typical smell of sulphur reminds you of the constant activity beneath the earth. On clear days the site offers an exceptional panoramic view of the Sierra Negra Volcano crater, as well as the formations around the Sulphur Mines.
