Isla Perro Grande belongs to Cayos Limones, inside the Guna Yala comarca. One tour in our catalogue names it, from $135 per person.
The larger of the two Perro islands, in Cayos Limones. More ground and more shade than Perro Chico, with which it is constantly confused.
The larger of the two Perro islands, in Cayos Limones. It has more ground and more shade than Perro Chico, and it is the one that carries the confusion: plenty of people book one thinking they are going to the other.
A single tour in our catalogue names it, the $135 one built for couples, and it goes to no other island. That format makes sense precisely because of the size: a large island holds groups without crowding and has somewhere to step away to, which a fifty-metre cay does not.
There is no lodging: you visit and return the same day.
All depart from Panama City and include transfer, boat, lunch and guide.
The comarca entrance fee is separate and charged by the Guna community: $22 per foreigner and $7 per resident.

In Cayos Limones, one of the island groups of the Guna Yala comarca, on Panama’s Caribbean coast. You enter the archipelago overland to the port and continue by boat; no road reaches any island.
It depends on the island, and not all of them take guests: some are uninhabited cays with no fresh water or electricity, others have cabins run by Guna families. We say so island by island, and overnight stays live in our where-to-sleep guide.
From $135 per person, with the transfer from your Panama City hotel, the boat, lunch and guide included. The comarca entrance fee is separate and charged by the Guna community: $22 foreigners, $7 residents.
You need identification: a passport if you are a foreigner, a national ID if you are a resident. Guna Yala is an autonomous territory with its own checkpoint and it registers everyone who passes. Without a document you do not get in, and the checkpoint does not accept digital copies.
