Galapagos Trip - Part II: Sierra Negra and sex on the rocks

Just an old volcano - last eruption was 2005. A nice hike, fresh and relatively cool. High enough to walk through the clouds (~ 1100 m).


 One of several vermilion flycatcher on the way up. 



The 'caldera' of the ~ 530,000 year old volcano - with fresh lava from 2005.



Caldera is the top of the volcano - when caved in and more or less in bowl form. 



No green on the ground of the caldera yet, too fresh, too stony. 



What a nice hike through some mist - same humidity as Austin, just 15 C less. 



Yup, tired and waiting for the drive back (to have some good, fresh, local, typical food). Food is good, tasty, lots of greens and fish. 


Slow hiker racing across the path. 



Sex on the rocks.
