Day 3: Day Trip to San Blas Islands
Day Trip to San Blas
We decided at the spur of the moment to visit Panama's San Blas Islands.
From Panama City, it is a bit of a trek, but the islands are so pristine and beautiful that water lovers will definitely want to carve out a visit!
Definitely book transportation in advance, to guarantee that you'll be able to visit.
We hired a local driver to take us, but it's probably better to book a tour. The drive took about 2 hoursfrom Casco Viejo to reach the checkpoint area and you'll need your passport.
The San Blas Islands are sort of a self-governed state by the indigenous Kuta Indians and we found out once we arrived that you need to hire a local Indian driver and guide or they won't let you through.
They barely let us through after we paid a bribe, so I'd recommend booking a tour instead.
