FamxplorEl Chato Giant Tortoise Reserve
What to expect
El Chato Giant Tortoise Reserve is a great place to observe giant tortoises roaming freely, especially during the dry season. The reserve is divided into two areas, Caseta and Chato, and offers hiking trails with varying levels of difficulty. Visitors can also spot other native wildlife such as short-eared owls, Darwin's finches, yellow warblers, Galapagos rails, and paint-billed crakes. The reserve features a pond where tortoises can be seen wallowing in the water, surrounded by natural highland pasture and native Scalesia forest. This is an excellent opportunity for families to see these gentle giants in their native habitat and learn about the unique biodiversity of the Galapagos
