Volcanic Cones

Volcanic cones are one of the most visible geological features across the Galápagos Islands. Formed by ancient volcanic eruptions, these cone-shaped hills rise from the landscape and provide clear evidence of the islands’ volcanic origins. Visiting volcanic cones allows travelers to better understand how the Galápagos archipelago was created. The cones add dramatic shape to the terrain and offer elevated viewpoints across lava fields and coastline.
