This is probably the single coolest place on San Cristóbal outside the beaches and diving! You'll get to see the nursery where baby tortoises are kept safe and grow together. They're all so tiny and cute. I'm the preserve you'll find the adult tortoises. They're enormous and could be wandering anywhere. However, you'll likely find a few right on the trail thanks to strategically places watering holes.

Must visit. Hundreds to thousands of tortoises here just roaming around. Part of highland tour that the taxis know about.

It is a great place to visit and see turtles. The best time to go is around 9:00-9:30 a.m as it is not too hot out.

Amazing experience. Walk slow, really take your time to look. Sometimes you hear the tortoise before you see it. We had a fantastic time visiting. A MUST DO on the island.

Great place to see this wonderful animals. Seems like they’re doing excellent work in helping this species of tortoise recover its population.

If you want to see Giant Land Tortoises up close this is a good place to visit. These tortoises are walking around the trail and if you get close they retract their heads and limbs into their shell which is cool to see. They also have a section where you can see the smaller land tortoises grow and develop into adults
