Sierra Negra Caldera Trail
Reserve a guided highland walk for the scale of Sierra Negra's caldera and lava interior. Visibility matters, and adding Volcán Chico or the sulfur mine substantially changes the outing.

Keep exploring Galápagos Islands with our travel partners.
The Sierra Negra rim trail offers a sense of volcanic scale that is difficult to get from the coast. The broad caldera and dark lava interior contrast with the humid approach. Keep the main rim walk distinct from longer extensions, and allow the guide to adjust the route to visibility and conditions.
What to look for
A vast caldera opens beyond the humid highlands
Dark lava fields contrast with the vegetated crater rim
Useful to know
Arrange a guided highland excursion and road transfer.
The main visit covers the main caldera walk; Volcán Chico or the sulfur-mine extension changes distance and duration.
