One of the islands is also called Jambeli and that is where most tourists go. We have already published some information about the island of Jambeli on bbxmusic.com <a href=\"https:\/\/bbxmusic.com\/ecuador\/en\/search?q=jambeli\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However Jambeli is not the only island on the archipelago. This time I decided to take a look at Costa Rica which I had heard was also quite beautiful. While Jambeli is easily accessed from Machala, to access Costa Rica one best option is to go to <strong>Huaquillas<\/strong>.

There is just, I found out, a small problem. There ain&#8217;t no boat ! I was expecting something like Puerto Bolivar from where every hour a boat takes tourists to the island for $2 a head. Not so in Puerto Hualtaco. There is no such service. I was told that if you want to go to the island you have to charter one boat for the day which is what people do. They come in groups of 10 or more, pay something like $5 per person and spend the day. For one single person it is however not economical to pay $50 for a passage.<\/p>\n<h5>So I was stranded.<\/h5>\n<p>A bad situation in my opinion can most often than not be turned into a good or at least decent one if you have a bit of patience and some social skills.
