Comarca de Guna Yala
Catering to backpackers, Cartí Homestay is the best place to meet young Guna, though the inflatable Jägermeister bottle in the corner might be a good indicator of the kind of cultural interactions you can expect. There are two very basic rooms with double beds and a six-bed dorm. The English-speaking hosts also have cabin lodgings on a more remote island.
They can also coordinate speedboats to Puerto Obaldía (US$125) for Colombia-bound travelers. Internet via stick modem costs US$1 per hour.
