Isabela Island Sulfur Mines Tour
Itinerary
At the time indicated, we'll pick you up from your hotel on Isabela Island to kick off this sulfur mines tour. Let's go, adventurers!
After a 45-minute journey, we'll have arrived at our destination, on the outskirts of the Sierra Negra Volcano. Did you know that it's 1,124 metres (3,687 feet) above sea level? We'll explore the western side of the Sierra Negra basin in the direction of the famous Isabela Island sulfur mines.
Once here, we'll become immersed in the natural beauty of the island with a walk around the basin of the Sierra Negra Volcano. We'll explore different hiking routes that will take us to the marvellous sulfur mines. We'll see fields filled with yellow rocks, created thanks to the cooling of gases.
We'll head on a 2-kilometre (1.2-mile) walking route, crossing a steep cliff as we admire the cone and its vents. The best bit awaits, next to the entrance to the Sierra Negra crater, with stunning panoramic views and the opportunity to witness even more sulfur vents. Don't forget your camera!
Before ending the tour to the sulfur mines, we'll make a stop to get our energy back. We'll enjoy a delicious picnic-style lunch of a sandwich, juice and fresh fruit.
4-5 hours later, we'll return to your hotel on Isabela Island.
