Fodor's Expert Review Cartí

This rustic port is the only part of Guna Yala accessible by land, via the Llano-Cartí road, which winds its way over the lushly forested Serranía de San Blas between the Interamerican Highway and Cartí. There is no community here, just a few buildings and docks, but it is a relatively busy place most mornings, because people and goods moving between more than a dozen Guna communities and Panama City pass through here. Lodges near El Porvenir and Río Sidra can pick up guests here.
