Volcán Darwin

Volcán Darwin rises 1,300 meters above sea level on Floreana Island, featuring steep slopes covered with volcanic rocks and endemic vegetation.

The volcano received its name during the HMS Beagle expedition of 1835, when Charles Darwin conducted research in the Galápagos archipelago.

The Galápagos National Park maintains strict regulations to protect the natural environment of Volcán Darwin and its surrounding marine reserve.

Visitors can reach the volcano exclusively by boat tours departing from other Galápagos islands, as Floreana has no airport facilities.

The volcanic formation contains numerous caves and geological structures that shelter specialized plant species found nowhere else on Earth.
