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.
