Travel rates to San Blas

When you are in Panama the most common way to travel to San Blas Panama is by 4×4 jeep from Panama City to Carti Suitipo, or Garti Tupile. You can book your 4×4 jeep in all the hotels/hostels in Panama City to this place. They pick you up by your place of stay and drive you in about 2,5-3 hours to Garti/Carti. This might seem like a long journey but don’t worry the scenic views are astonishingly beautiful. You will drive through Jungle on a rollercoaster like road with sharp turns and steep hills. When you arrive at Garti/Carti you will need a water taxi to take you to the destination within San Blas Panama. If you booked a boat then we advice you ask your captain on which island he docked his ship, if you booked a place to stay with the Kuna’s they can tell you which water taxi’s you should take. Sometimes you need to transfer on one of the bigger islands, this alone is quite an adventure.
