Located in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, Cerro Gallina is an island with a few mellower reef breaks that offer both lefts and rights, providing fun sections for manoeuvres. The waves here are not always easy to surf and break for up to 100 metres (328 feet) over a rock bottom.

This break is suitable for intermediate and advanced-level surfers. The surf here is somewhat consistent (5/10) and will be uncrowded (3/10). The best winds are from the northeast. The best swells are from the southwest. Cerro Gallina works on all tides.
