Top Puerto Ayora Natural Attractions

While on Santa Cruz Island, don’t miss the chance to see Galápagos giant tortoises in their natural environment. This admission ticket grants you access to the nature trails and lava tunnels of El Chato Reserve, an easy 30-minute drive from Puerto Ayora. On this privately owned land, tortoises roam freely, and a self-guided walk allows for plenty of photo ops. Coffee, tea, and rubber boots are provided for convenience.
