RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE BOAT TRIP
If you travel in the summer season (from December to May), the sea may have waves because it is a breezy season; We recommend you sit on the benches at the back of the boat where the waves are least felt in the boat.
When you arrive at the San Francisco pier, walk 200 meters to the left towards Caracolí beach, in the opposite direction of town.
