    Do not book these tickets through Viator. They do not get you into the reserve. El Chato Ranch does not recognize these tickets and you will have to pay at the park again, which by the way is only $5 a person.

    Never did I expect to see huge long neck tortoises that are really old mating. That was a once in a lifetime experience for sure. Well organized with nature guide who took us thru the turtle area and then down into lava tunnels. Very interesting.
