Unlike many Galapagos tours that only visit one site or focus exclusively on wildlife viewing, this experience combines three unique elements into one tour: underground exploration, spotting giant turtles in the wild and tasting local artisan coffee. You’ll explore the breathtaking lava tunnels, underground volcanic formations that few visitors have the opportunity to travel. Then, you will walk among giant turtles in their natural habitat, without cages or closed centers, and finally you will enjoy a tasting of 100% Galapagueño coffee, grown in the volcanic lands of the upper part of the island. This experience is distinguished by offering an authentic, educational and multisensory approach, ideal for those looking for more than a tourist excursion: a real connection with the geological history, wildlife and agricultural culture of the Galapagos.
