The tour is not what I expected. We did not do the 10 or so kilometers hike but instead we drove up to the Vista de Mina de Azufre from the meeting point in downtown Isabela. The scenery from the viewpoint was beautiful and you can see the lava fields and the sulfur mine with steam emitting from it. We did a slow 30 minutes walk down to the lava field/ sulfur mine close to where the steam was coming out. Took pictures, had some educational conversation about volcanoes, lava formations and sulfur-emissions … Then a short stop on our way back in one of the island viewing spots which for me is really not that interesting. For recommendations can either be a yes or no depending on persons hiking ability or preference.

Dear customer , the title and the description says walking tour so the hiking is in all the excursion. Best regards,

Must See On Isabela

Amazing to explore the lava fields of the 2028 eruption and learn more about the history of Isabela. Take sturdy, waterproof shoes and light layers to cover up against both sun and rain as the weather turns fast up on the lava fields. Incredible views and geology from the top. This was a ~15km hike, not an easy walking tour so take plenty of water and snacks. Nice small lunch is provided but you may want a little more, especially if like us you have slower walkers that result in longer out and about.

Dear customer thanks for your comment, we will be so happy in receiving again in Ecuador for living more experiences

Good hike!

Great moderate hike. The hardest part was the muddy conditions at beginning of hike with a bit of cold. Tour guide was excellent. Communication regarding meetup point and time was poor--we were told to be there 45 minutes prior to pickup time.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Dear customer thanks for sharing your experiences, according to the time we already requested 30 minutes before we plan the pick up due to some passengers arrive late to the meeting point

Awesome, Spectacular and definite must!!!!👍
