Isla Perro Chico

In the Guna language: Assudub Bipii

Isla Perro Chico belongs to Cayos Limones, inside the Guna Yala comarca. 2 tours in our catalogue name it, from $114 per person.

A small cay in Cayos Limones, the group closest to the port. Its Guna name is Assudub Bipii, and there is a Perro Grande that is not the same island.

It is the island people name most when they talk about the archipelago, and the one that causes the most confusion: there is a Perro Chico and a Perro Grande, they are two different islands, and each belongs to different tours in the catalogue.

In our catalogue Perro Chico never appears alone. The two tours that name it share it with Isla Diablo: the $114 Classic Day, which adds those two islands and the Natural Pool, and the $149 VIP Day, which adds Isla Pelicano and a visit to a Guna community. So the $35 difference does not buy more time on Perro Chico, it buys one more island and the cultural part.

It sits in Cayos Limones, the group closest to the entry port, which makes it one of the first islands a boat reaches. There is no lodging: you come here in passing.

Which islands share its itinerary

  • Isla Diablo (Niadub) Niadub in Guna. It sits in Cayos Limones, a few minutes by boat from Perro Chico, which is why almost no itinerary visits it alone.
  • Isla Pelícano (Gorginega) Gorginega. It sits on the edge of Cayos Limones, and that position puts it both in its own group's routes and in those crossing west.
