Cayos Cochinos

Safety

Venturing out to the Cayos Cochinos without a tour group can be risky; individual water taxis have been said to abandon passengers at the islands upon arrival, and they might not take you to where you really want to go. The ride to the archipelago can be bouncy and choppy, so travelers sensitive to motion should take the proper precautions to avoid getting sick. Slather on the sunscreen, especially if riding in a roofless boat.
