Sailing Across the Pacific Ocean 2013 (Part 10) - Exploring Isabela
Our next excursion took place early this morning. We had a quick breakfast at 7am, and then hopped on a bus for our 8km hike up the world's second largest volcano (in circumference I think) Volcán Sierra Negra.
It was breathtaking and had a good 8km diameter.
This was some 'holy tree'. I can't really remember what he said about it, but it used to be worshipped in Hawaii for some reason. Pretty neat looking though.
The lava wiped out all plant life when it erupted. Cacti and some ferns are all that has been able to grow there since.
We ate our lunch with a really nice view of the narrowest part of the island. That is the Pacific ocean on both sides.
