Once you arrive in El Chaco, ask locals for the direction towards Isla Lobos; they will guide you to the boat launch area nearby. You will likely need to take a taxi from the bus terminal to the boat launch, which may cost around $5-10.
Boat

After reaching the boat launch area, you will need to hire a local boat to take you to Isla Lobos. Make sure to negotiate the price beforehand; a typical boat ride can cost anywhere from $20 to $50 depending on the number of passengers and the distance to Isla Lobos.
