Getting Around Comarca de San Blas

There are daily flights from Albrook Airport to San Blas with two different airlines. The flight is only 20 minutes and costs 97$ for a return ticket and about 50$ one way. The flight is pleasant because it is low enough to have a maplike overview of the Panamanian topography. The small aircraft lands on island Porvenir. There are flights to different destinations in San Blas area from where you can take a boat to your hotel.
In the airport they checked our luggage with the help of a small cute cocker spaniel who jumped over the bags in a very funny playful way and then went away as if he had forgoten what he was brought there for. They had to call him back every time to go on with his ...job.
I flew with Aeroperlas airlinesthat has an office in Albrook Airport (315 7500). I, personally, was directed to the famous Hotel El Panama, on Via Espana, where there is a little desk of the company for your tickets. (223 2804).
There are no buses to drop you at Albrook airport. You should take a taxi. Don't give them more than 2$ for a day ride and 3 $ for a call and night ride! The official price is 1.50$-1.75$. It's only a 15 minute ride.
There is a rugged road from Panama City to Carti through El Llano, passable with jeeps. Then you can take a boat ride to your accommodation. You can arrange with locals on the islands or in Panama City, on Avenida Central in the old city area. The trip takes about four hours, plus the boat ride to your island, and costs about 50$ after negotiation.
From Colombia you can take a tourist sailing boat which stops at Porvenir island and then fly to Panama City. For details on sailing boats look at my Colombia tips.
