Fodor's Expert Review Cartí Sugdub

El Porvenir, Carti, and Rio Sidra Island

The closest community to the port of Cartí is the densely populated island of Cartí Sugdub (aka Cartí Suidup). Here visitors will find a collection of thatched huts, cement stores, and plenty of handicraft hawkers. Near the school is a large thatched building called the Casa de la Cultura, where sahilas (chiefs) from across the province gather once or twice a year. Aside from an opportunity to experience life in a Guna community, the island has a tiny museum dedicated to traditional Guna culture.
