Galapagos DIVE, SNORKEL AND SURF.

León Dormido is a rock development or disintegrated cone of volcanic tuff. The tuff cones are framed when hot magma interacts with cold sea water, and the subsequent explosion shapes the stone construction seen today. Over untold years, disintegration has caused a breach, opening a wide channel through which diving and snorkeling exercises usually take place. What's more, it offers an amazing perspective as you navigate around this 149-meter-high stone monument! It is perhaps one of the most visited places in the Galapagos Islands for scuba diving.
