Sierra Negra Sulfur Mines Trail
Duration: 5 hours Departure time: 7h15 Private groups and biking/camping are available
Service Description
Sulfur dioxide is a key component in volcanic processes. During a volcano eruption, this gas condenses into a reddish liquid and further cooling solidifies it into yellowish sediment. Sulfur, also known as sulphuric acid, is important in various chemical and pharmaceutical procedures. For many years, miners in this region extracted this mineral. Although the mine is no longer active, the rugged and unique landscape remains unchanged. Our biking expedition to the mines offers insights into the ongoing activity of Sierra Negra and the history of Isabela, as well as unparalleled panoramic views of the entire island. We highly recommend this adventurous exploration of Isabela's highlands and also offer a camping excursion to supplement the tour.
