"We booked this hotel under the pretense that the resturant was open for business and the taxi price rate was similar to the rest of Ecuador or the reviews in our travel book. Hotel served a nice breakfast BUT no other food is available so one must go into Puerto Ayora for lunch and dinner. The taxi rate to and from hotel into town can be anywhere from $10-$15 each way..... if u want to freshen up after a long tour that will be 4 taxi rides......$40-$60 per day. Lawrence offered us a ride...

Hike alongside giant tortoises at Rancho Primicias, where these ancient creatures roam freely in their natural highland habitat. Descend into the otherworldly Lava Tunnel and marvel at Los Gemelos Sinkholes, twin volcanic craters surrounded by scalesia forest teeming with finches.
