Sierra Negra and beach
20/11/2008
We got up early today to visit the volcano Sierra Negra. We walked along the rim of the crater and were amazed by the black lava, without any plants from the last eruption in 2005. We went on to the parasite volcano “El Chico”, where we learned about the different lava formations (for example lava tunnels). From the highest point, a beautiful panorama of the majority of Isabela’s volcanoes opened up. We saw most of the Island and even the outlines of Fernandina on the horizon, where the last eruption took place just a few weeks ago. This walk took us five hours and we chose to relax on the amazing beach in the afternoon.
