Cellular Network: No (Guided Tours)

The people on the island clearly understood the cash opportunity of tourism and you will need to pay multiple times to visit/hike the island. It costs 15 Bolivianos to see the north end of the island, and an additional 15 Bolivianos to walk from the north to south end. It costs 10 Bolivianos to enter the south end of the island.
