Cabo Rose - After this short stop we sail for about 45 minutes to reach one of the most beautiful landscapes of rocky lava formations in the Galapagos Islands, it is called tunnels because in ancient eruptions, lava passed under the earth forming tunnels that later collapsed and gave rise to these arches over the water where you can clearly see vegetation coming out of the rocks, crystal clear water, sea lions fluttering between the arches.
