Comarca de Guna Yala
For shoestringers who want nothing more than some thatch over their head and sand beneath their toes, this is the real deal. Accommodations are pretty basic in seven cabins – four private and three dormitories. There is little to do here, but dining at the big wood restaurant around the picnic table provides the perfect opportunity to mix with fellow travelers.
Transfers to Gardi (Cartí) are charged separately (US$20 one way).
