Itinerary
During the 4x4 tour to the Port of Cartí, we will cross the protected area of Nusagandi, gateway to the Guna Yala region. During the journey, travelers can enjoy panoramic views of the mountains and the lush tropical forest that characterizes this region, before continuing to the port to begin the adventure through the islands of San Blas.
Diablo Island will be the first stop on your tour of San Blas. On this island you will enjoy more time to relax on its white sand beaches, swim in its crystal clear waters, take pictures and enjoy the tropical environment. After lunch on that island, we will board the boat again to continue with the next stops of the tour.
San Blas Islands
We will continue the tour by visiting a natural pool of crystal clear and shallow waters, where you can swim, snorkel and observe starfish in their natural habitat, without touching or taking them out of the water. Afterwards, we will visit a second island, which will be selected and coordinated the same day by our local guide, according to the organization of the tour and the conditions of the day. There you will have time to enjoy the beach, swim, relax and appreciate the natural beauty of San Blas.
San Blas Islands
At the end of the visit to the last island, we will start the return by boat to the Port of Cartí. Along the way you can enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the islands that make up the Lemon Keys, as well as some Guna communities located in the archipelago. When you arrive at the port, 4x4 transport will be waiting for you to start the journey back to Panama City, ending the tour with the transfer to your hotel or accommodation.
