Cash: There are no banks or ATMs, only Caja Vecina and Banco Estado, therefore it is essential to travel with cash.
Medication: There is only one pharmacy on the island and only one Rural Health Hospital with basic services in case of an emergency, so it is recommended you bring all necessary medication for the entire trip.
Documents: Identity card or valid passport in good condition.
Comfortable shoes: We recommend shoes suitable for mid-mountain to carry out the tourist
All-weather clothing: Consider clothing necessary to protect you from wind and water, ideally waterproof and breathable clothing.
Keep in mind
Telephone: Mobile phone coverage in Robinson Crusoe is only available through national companies Entel and Movistar.
Internet: in Robinson Crusoe there is satellite internet coverage, which is occasionally affected by weather conditions.
Round trip: Consider the flexibility of one week after departure or return date, since the weather conditions on the island can delay your flight.
Lobster consumption: During the lobster prohibition season, between June and September, fishing and fresh consumption are prohibited. During this period some restaurants offer frozen lobster, which is allowed. Do not accept fresh lobster during the prohibition season, as it could result in a fine.
