Highlights of the Galápagos
Los Gemelos, Santa Cruz
Visiting Los Gemelos is one of the best things to do on the Galápagos Islands. The twin craters lie hidden within the rich vegetation of the Santa Cruz highlands and create the most dramatic setting, with the slate shades of the sinkholes' volcanic walls surrounded by the verdant scalesia forest. Hike along the craters, encountering a spectacular variety of birdlife along with the craters’ sheer, rocky walls, including the Vermilion flycatchers and the famous Darwin finches.
