Once you board their boats, you are under their care. They may seem reserved at first, and waiting times can occur—embracing their culture will enhance your experience. 🏝 Choosing the Right Island Rather than focusing on “the most beautiful island,” consider: ✔ The hospitality of the Guna family ✔ The accommodation and service provided 🚫 We recommend avoiding weekends and national holidays for a more relaxed experience. ⚡ Basic Infrastructure – Rustic & Authentic • Limited electricity (charging phones may require a small fee) • No Wi-Fi on most islands • Simple meals (fish availability depends on the season) • Rustic cabins with minimal amenities 🚙 Shared 4×4 Transportation – What to Expect • Up to 6 passengers per vehicle • Possible delays due to coordination with other travelers 💡 For maximum comfort and flexibility, private transportation is recommended. ⸻ Environmental Awareness 🌊 Due to ocean currents, trash from the sea and mainland may wash up on some islands, especially during summer. We kindly ask guests to take their trash back with them to help preserve this unique environment. ⸻ 🌟 Final Tip Flexibility is key. Expect simple comforts, possible delays, and a slower pace—but that’s part of the magic of San Blas. Embrace the experience, and you’ll create unforgettable memories 🌴✨
