Some of the highlights of a San Blas island tour:

Cayos Holandeses – This is a remote and pristine region of the San Blas island chain. A region that is little vivited by travellers staying in hotel or cabana style accommodation. With basic lodging or  tents, Cayos Holandeses is a glimpse at the rustic lifestyle that many Kuna Yala have enjoyed for generations. Stunning coral reefs with excellent snorkeling and fishing make this the highlight of many San Blas island tours.
