Para completar tu experiencia en Panamá, tienes que ir a San Blas, te quedas sin palabras cuando llegas y ves el Archipiélago , te reciben muy amables y a conocer las islas en pleno Mar Caribe, mucha paz y tranquilidad . El único detalle es la carretera con muchos baches pero nada que no se pueda superar

Horrible. The tour canceled 9 hours before picking us up, stating it was due to road closures and protests. They offered to reschedule or give a total refund, which we opted for the refund. Protests are still going on today and tours are still going on.
