Whenever we talk about paradisiacal places, with their eternal beaches of fine sand and their turquoise sea, we already see ourselves packing our suitcases and taking advantage of a few days of vacation to be able to enjoy all of it. Well, in this case it was not going to be less because we are talking about san blas islands. They have become one of the most acclaimed destinations and it is not for less.
It is an area in Panama, which is made up of 365 small islands. But of all of them there are always some that stand out and that have that leading role that we mentioned. So if you want to do a bit of tourism, relax on its beaches but also soak up its culture, it's time to discover much more about them.
Where are the San Blas Islands located?
We have to talk about known as the San Blas archipelago or also, Guna Yala. This area belongs to Panama and is made up of islets and islands just off the north coast of the isthmus. Although there are a total of 365 as we mentioned before, not all of them are inhabited. What's more, it is said that only about 80 will be there and we also have to reduce the number of them when it comes to mentioning which are the most recommended to visit.
How to get to San Blas
It is not a very easy task if you want to do it on your own. So in these cases it is always convenient to hire a tour, even if we have to spend a little more money. The San Blas Islands are about 3 hours from Panama City. You can get to them by flying thanks to a small plane that will not take more than an hour, since the best-known islands do have a landing strip. Of course, taking a tour by sea is also another of the alternatives and of course, the third is to go to the port of Cartí and then also take a ship. Although it may be a complicated option that takes more time.
