Detailed Description
This is an Isla Perro Chico 1 Night 2 Day tour. To start this tour, you must go on your own to Port Carti, there you will meet your guide to board the boat to Perro Chico Island.
It is necessary that the car in which you are heading to the port is 4x4 or 4x2, otherwise, the police presence that is before entering the reserve of San Blas, will not allow you to go through for security reasons.

Once you arrive at Port Carti, you will have to pay for the parking, since it is not included, but the port fees are included in the price.
You must be at the port at 8:30am morning to meet your guide and board your boat to the Islands. The exact route and order of the Islands changes daily based on the quantity of people on the Islands, and sometimes there are requests by groups to spend more time in certain places, and the operator tries to accommodate this when possible.
