Hello i am Cesar. Pleased to meet you! I am an official guide of the Galapagos Islands National Park and I am specialized in nature tourism. For 40 years I have dedicated myself to making the different charms of the Galapagos and continental Ecuador known to people from all over the world. Until recently, this reserve of giant tortoises, native forest and lava tunnels was only open to specialized groups of botanists, biologists and geologists, but a few months ago we opened it up to tourism and we are looking forward to your discovery.
Important: The tour does not include admission to the reserve which costs $5.
Would you like to see the giant Galapagos tortoises in their natural habitat?
Do you want to know more about them and find out what role they play in the ecosystem?
If your answer is yes and you like adventures, this free walking tour is for you. We invite you to come and discover the reserve.
We will meet directly at the Galapagos Frontier reserve where you will be greeted by a naturalist guide with more than 30 years of experience who will take you to discover the Galapagos endemic forest , the area with the highest plant endemism of all the islands.
On the way we will pass through the forest of the transition zone, where we will be able to observe giant tortoises along the way. We will be able to see different species of endemic birds , such as the canary or Darwin's finch, among many others.
Later we will have the opportunity to see two lava tunnels , with recent formations of stalactites and stalagmites, where we will know the formation of the Galapagos Islands and, with a little luck, we will be able to see the barn owl that lives in this cave. We will finish the tour with a delicious juice from the fruit trees of the reserve.
Directions to reach the reserve:
🚌 1. By bus to Los Guayabillos and then by taxi to the Galapagos border.
🚕 2. By taxi from Puerto Ayora.
🚲 3. Cycling from Puerto Ayora through the cycle path, passing the craft park and the cycle path. You can contact us to get bikes at the best rental price.

Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
