Day 7 – Cabo Rosa Tunnels Exploration
Your day begins with a pick-up from your selected hotel after a filling breakfast. The day’s tour will take you to the Cabo Rosa lava tunnels, also known as “Los Túneles”. A thrilling speedboat ride of approximately one hour leads you to this geological marvel. Formed millions of years ago, these tunnels were sculpted by rivers of molten lava that flowed from the island’s interior to the shoreline.
As the lava cooled, it created hollow structures which, over time, were shaped by the intrusion of seawater, resulting in the impressive tunnels we see today. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, snorkel through these tunnels, encountering a rich diversity of marine life. Keep your eyes peeled for sharks, lobsters, Galapagos penguins, sea lions, blue-footed boobies, sea turtles, and vibrant tropical fish. This immersive experience offers unparalleled opportunities to witness these creatures in their natural habitat.
Returning to Puerto Villamil, you will be dropped off at your hotel, where you can unwind and enjoy the rest of the afternoon at your leisure.
