Quill tour
You can not leave the Island and have not seen The Quill. It’s the sleeping volcano from 600 meters high and its located in The Quill National Park. There are various hiking routes, one more intense & adventure than the other. The most popular one is going to the highest point: Mazinga, where you have a great view. By all routes you will experience rare plants, old trees, animals, including colourful birds and unique flora, such as native orchids, bromelia’s, fern, air plants etc. Along the way you will often accompanied by funny hermit crabs. Specially in rain season is the Quill a paradise by nature lovers!
The unique thing about the sleeping volcano is that you can go inside of it. It is a rocky pad what we advise to do only by dry weather. It’s absolutely a nice experience. In the crater you feel one with nature; feel the energy of the old trees and hear many birds around.
