This was a pricey day trip indeed. Between the fees to enter the Comarca de Kuna Yala and parking and taxes and boat fee and whatever else they could think of, it cost nearly $180 bucks for the four of us!
The weather was iffy and the ocean was rough. Our tiny skff races through the waves, ricocheting around like a tin can in a tornado. While we all smiled and laughed as the boat crashed down from one wave into the next, we were all thinking of which island we'd swim to when the boat capsized.
In the end, we arrived at Isla Perro Chico, wet, weary, but excited to see the gorgeous turquoise water and white sand beach. One of the various highlights was snorkeling in one of the best spots in Central America. Through the clear water you could see tons of cuttlefish, seargeant majors, parrot fish, needle fish, as they weaved in and out of a old sunken shipwrick that had become a reef off the shore of our tiny island. This underwater city, just 20 meters off the shore, looked like an aquarium that we were privvy to swim through.
After 2 hours, our time on the island had expired and we had to jump on our trasport back to the shore. I think we could have used another couple of hours, but we were fortunate to have the experience.
The drive from the Interamericana to Carti, the embarcadero was an torturous up and down, twisting road that seemed to last an eternity. Take your motion sickness pills. Even I, the driver, felt motion sick!
