Ecuador/ Galapagos Islands - Day 3 - Sierra Negra Volcano and Snorkeling

On the 3rd day, we visited Sierra Negra Volcano. After driving a distance in the car to reach the remote volcano, we started our hike to the crater rim. The hiking trail was very dusty but less challenging than expected. The crater has a diameter of 12 km and the last eruption was in 2005. After hiking along the crater rim, we returned to the pick-up trucks that took us back to the city.

In the afternoon, to get rid of all the dust, we went snorkeling for the first time. The Concha Perla Beach was amazing! We saw a lot of fish, giant iguanas, and were able to swim with turtles and even touch them. Incredible!

In the evening, we went for a walk along a trail and saw many flamingos at the lake. A perfect way to end the day.

End of Day 3.
