Tour of the Santa Cruz Highlands

At 2:45 pm, we'll pick you up from your hotel to head to the Santa Cruz highlands!

The first stop will be at Rancho Primicias, an excellent place to see the giant tortoises that give the archipelago its name. We'll learn all about these friendly reptiles while watching them eat or rest in their natural habitat.

Afterwards, we'll go to the famous lava tunnels of Santa Cruz. We'll take a walk through these geological formations and be transported back in time as we go deeper and deeper.

We'll then go to another of the island's iconic sites, the Twin Craters. These two unique sinkholes were caused by a volcanic depression over the years. In this enclave, we'll also see the typical vegetation of the highlands, such as escalesias, mosses, and orchids.

Finally, we'll finish the tour by dropping you back off at your hotel at 6:15 pm.
