After breakfast, we set off for Minas de Azufre located on the slopes of Sierra Negra Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the Galápagos Archipelago. The hike to the sulfur mines took us through a dramatic landscape of volcanic terrain, and the trail was lined with native vegetation.
The sulfur mines reminded us that we were walking in an active volcano that last erupted in 2018. The smell of sulfur in the air was pungent, and the contrast of the black volcanic rock with the bright yellow sulfur deposits created a striking landscape.
