This experience combines 50% cycling and 50% hiking to actively explore the Santa Cruz Highlands. The normal bike option follows a mostly descent route, quiet and suitable for most travelers. For those looking for a more dynamic experience, the e-bike allows you to travel sectors with steeper slopes in greater comfort. We will start at Parque San Francisco de Puerto Ayora, where we will pick up bikes and helmets before moving to Los Guayabillos. During the tour we will cross rural landscapes, agricultural areas, fruit trees and coffee plantations of the Galapagos. Upon arrival at Galapagos Frontier we will continue with a guided hike through the nature reserve to observe giant turtles in their natural habitat and explore impressive lava tunnels formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. Ideal for those looking to combine adventure, nature and physical activity.

Approximately 1000 kilometers west of the Ecuadorian mainland coast is the Galapagos archipelago. Over the centuries, changing ocean currents and airstreams have made it difficult for sailors to locate the islands; as a result they have become known as “the enchanted islands”. Due to their remote location, the islands have been able to maintain their unique flora and fauna despite human interference and are today considered a unique paradise on earth where we can relax and share the company of diverse wildlife. In 1835, after visiting four of the 11 islands, Charles Darwin was so profoundly inspired he developed his “Theory of Evolution”.
