On Santa Cruz, this involves a vilsit to the Gemelos Pit Craters, with a walk through the endemic Scalesia forest looking for birds and enjoying the view of the 300 ft deep pit craters. Looking down into the craters you get a peek into the island\u2019s past. If you are lucky you may see a Short eared Owl or a Vermillion Flycatcher. After the pit craters you will be visiting a local eco-ranch \/ preserve to observe wild Galapagos Tortoises and a Lava Tube.<\/p>\n
On Isabela, the Highland Tour is a trip to the top of Sierra Negra Volcano and Volcan Chico. You take a bus or taxi up the ranger station, sign in, and then there is a 3 or4 hour walk up and back.<\/p>\n
On San Cristobal you visit the Highlands, to see the Junco lagoon and tortoises. All of these include transportation by bus or taxi (depending on the size of the group), and a knowledgeable local guide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":765,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[23],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-638","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-day-trips","first","instock","virtual","sold-individually","purchasable","product-type-booking"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/galapagosmoonrise.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/galapagosmoonrise.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/galapagosmoonrise.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galapagosmoonrise.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=638"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galapagosmoonrise.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/galapagosmoonrise.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galapagosmoonrise.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=638"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galapagosmoonrise.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=638"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galapagosmoonrise.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
