November 18, 2025,🇪🇨Las Grietas - Santa Cruz☁️⛅️🌵👨🏼🧙‍♀️

Today's top activity was a short hike to Las Grietas, a rock formation created by volcanic activity. The gorge contains brackish water, and along the way you pass the "Germans' Beach," a salt pan, and many cacti. Marine iguanas bask in the sun.
