Your Adventure Begins Your day starts bright and early, with pick-up from your location in Panama City between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m.. The drive to the San Blas port takes approximately 3 hours, offering you the opportunity to enjoy the stunning scenery as you ascend through the lush mountains of the Guna Yala region. Along the way, you’ll encounter breathtaking landscapes, including rolling hills, dense tropical forests, and glimpses of local villages, setting the stage for the adventure ahead. Arrival at the Port and Island Exploration Upon arriving at the port, you’ll board a boat between 9:15 and 9:45 a.m., ready to embark on your island-hopping experience. The first stop is the enchanting Fragatas Island, where you can unwind on powdery white-sand beaches, swim in the crystal-clear turquoise waters, or join a friendly game of volleyball with fellow travelers. The vibrant coral reefs surrounding the island are perfect for snorkeling, allowing you to spot a variety of marine life, from colorful fish to starfish. Next, we’ll head to the famous Perro Chico Island, a highlight of the San Blas archipelago. Here, you’ll find an iconic sunken shipwreck near the shore, an underwater paradise for snorkeling enthusiasts.
