Getting There & Away
Previously, the only practical means of visiting the Comarca de Kuna Yala was to fly
there, or to depart from a nearby port on a private sailboat. In 2009 a 4WD road was fin-
ished, linking the coast of Cartí to the Interamericana. Hired jeeps make the trip. At the
northwest end of the province, El Porvenir is the gateway to the San Blás islands, and
one of the most popular destinations for visitors. From here, boat transportation can be
arranged to other islands, several of which have basic hotels. If you're planning on stay-
ing at any of the far-flung islands, you can also fly into one of several remote landing
strips scattered throughout the Comarca.
AIR
Book as far in advance as possible as demand far exceeds supply. Note that planes may
stop at several islands in the archipelago, loading and unloading passengers or cargo be-
fore continuing on.
Flights depart from Albrook airport in Panama City and take 30 minutes to an hour. A
one-way ticket to each destination ranges from US$40 to US$80; prices vary according
to season and availability.
