Isla Pelicano

Isla Pelicano is a tiny island in the style of Robinson Crusoe, located in San Blas archipelago of Panama. There are no hotels, but there is a kiosk selling food and water. Sometimes there is a lot of garbage, but it is a common problem for many uninhabited islands, - today ocean will bring some trash to the beach, but tomorrow it will be washed away. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Isla Pelicano has no hotels, but in a theory it is possible to spend a night in a tent. There are also few guesthouses on the neighboring islands, located just in a swimming distance (don't try to swim across the ocean channels anyway).

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Panama City international airport (PTY). Next fly to the island of El Porvenir, and get by boat to the island of Isla Pelicano.

A cheaper way of getting to San Blas islands is to get by the land to Puertos de Carti, and then take a water taxi (30-40 minutes per way).

When to go [edit]

The best time for relaxing on the beach of Isla Pelicano island in San Blas is a dry season from December to April.
