Pleasant walk to get to this place, then an enjoyable swim once you get here. Lots of people here but an easygoing vibe - people looking out for each other, helping each other out of the water, lots of photos and videos of folks making...More
While most of our time in the Galapagos (ALL of which was wonderful) was spent either doing hikes in very hot humid weather or swimming/snorkeling in salt water, La Grietas was a chance to cool off in a fascinating lava-formed ravine, and have a swim...More
Catch a taxi boat across the bay to the beginning of the walking track and then enjoy the change of scenery as you head towards Las Grietas. On arrival enjoy a swim or just take in the beautiful surroundings. Don't miss the walk around the...More

Gorgeous saline swimming hole, crystal clear water. The geology is stunning. This is a fissure in which tidal waters enter through the rocks. There are a few large trapped parrotfish & snappers. A very nice wooden stairway leads down into water, making it easy to...More
