A Trip to Chachahuate

Chachahuate is one of the keys that make up Cayos Cochinos. It's all town and beach. There is barely room to walk between houses, except for a small wide spot the size of a patio that you could call its town square. There is an under-construction church that operates when the pastor is in town, a dive shop, a grocery store, a restaurant, and people hawking jewelry.

There are some palm trees, and one lonely pine at the south tip of the island.

You can wade to the next key north, seen here in back of Sophia and Sonja, with Cayo Grande and another key in the distance.



Cayo Menor is just to the west. They have been filming Survivor there. We could see a tiny helicopter buzzing around.

A thatched hut the size of a prison cell floats off the Chachahuate beach. It was the Survivor jail, donated by the crew in case some tourist might want a drink in jail.



An island girl played with our cell phones while we drank soda at a table by the beach.
