DAY 4
**Isabela – Horseback riding Sierra Negra volcano – Trekking Chico Volcano **
We start our hike or horseback ride from the station Tomas de Berlanga to a place called La Bocanilla; from here we can see the east and west shores of the island, including Elizabeth and Cartago Bays, as well as some of the islets offshore. On particularly clear days, the islands of Santa Cruz, Fernandina, Santiago, and Rábida can also be seen.
After hiking or horseback riding for about two and a half hours to reach **Sierra Negra**, we hike for about 45 minutes to arrive at an opening in the crater wall of Sierra Negra where another eruption took place. This area is called **Volcan Chico**, but it is part of Sierra Negra. We travel by bus to the breeding center, passing through different ecosystems including lakes, mangroves, dry forests and lava fields.
In the afternoon, we will prepare ourselves to sleep in between active craters where of course all our staff will take care of us.

Formed by volcanic eruptions over millions of years, they are located a very remote 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. These islands remain shockingly unspoilt and are where Charles Darwin invented the theory of evolution after studying the islands' many different species of Finches. Thus, the islands remain of high scientific importance. e fact they are located so far from the coast and weren't inhabited by humans until 150 years ago, has helped the hundreds of species of animals develop over 1000's of years without the slightest fear of human beings.This fearless wildlife is unmistakably one of the biggest reasons to visit as truly no where else on the planet will one encounter animals in their original, natural, wild habitat that are absolutely not bothered in the least by the presence of humans. In fact, in the case of land iguana, you have to be careful not to step on them because many just refuse to move!The species found on Galapagos are often endemic, meaning they cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Some of these include land tortoises, the Galapagos Penguin (the 2nd smallest in the world), land and marine iguanas, Darwin Finches, the famous Blue-footed Booby and it's cousin the Red-footed Booby.harks (Galapagos shark, white tipped shark and the extremely rare and fascinating Hammerhead, among others). For birds, a small sample include Frigates and its similar cousin the Cormorant, Flamingos, Pelicans, the enormous Albatross. The water is of course crystal clear and the snorkeling and diving there is among the best in the world (ask any expert!).
