Day 047: San Blas Islands, Guna Yala — 365 Islands, One for Every Day
· di4ztravel
365 Islands, One for Each Day of Your Trip
The San Blas Islands chapter is built around Guna Yala’s tiny palm-covered islands, mola textiles, clear water and low-key island life. Coco counts islands, loses track, and decides Day 047 belongs to him.
Quick facts
- Access: 4×4 from Panama City to Carti, then boat transfers.
- Currency: USD; the compilation notes cash is important in Guna Yala.
- Best season: December–April for calmer, drier conditions.
- DI4Z tip: Bring small bills and water shoes; the source emphasizes simple island infrastructure.
- Best fit: Small ships, sailboats and eco-style travel.
A Coco-style day
Start with the Carti boat launch, visit Isla Perro for snorkeling and starfish, browse mola textiles in a Guna village, then move between small islands by boat or sailboat. Lunch in the compilation centers on fresh lobster, coconut rice and seafood, followed by sunset over thatched huts and palm silhouettes.
