Keep exploring Galápagos Islands with our travel partners.
The interest at Los Gemelos lies both below and around you. The collapse pits reveal the island's volcanic structure, while the surrounding Scalesia forest adds a humid highland environment absent from the coast. A short walk here pairs naturally with a longer tortoise-reserve visit.
What to look for
