View on Google MapsWe went out on our own by bike and saw an incredible number of Galapagos turtles and iguanas. The wall of tears is impressive. We still climbed the mountain, as the path starts at the wall of tears. From up there you have a very nice view that is definitely worth it! We recommend doing the tour on a not too hot day, as it was very exhausting when the sun was so hot.
The story about what the prisoners went through is very sad because of the suffering they went through in those years, the wall is large and perhaps seems unstable, the walk is strong, it is advisable to go in light clothes and cover everything as the sun is very strong, carry enough water, preferably do the bike tour so you are not so exhausted
It is a recommended visit for those who wish to explore the history of the Galapagos beyond its biodiversity, combining culture, adventure and nature.

The experience in the wall of tears was very enriching for its story and tell us what life was like in the ancient Galapagos And how it was the evolution from being a military base of the United States since the Second World War to a prison in the government of Velasco Ibarra hence its total closure and see how the prisoners of this prison in many times later stayed to live in the Galapagos Islands equally the guide taught us a lot about the fauna and flora that is during this tour the heat was a little unbearable that we do not have many resources as is the water but it was an enriching experience that yes would do it again
