Icodub

Isla Aguja is one of many islands scattered around the Kuna Yala archipelago in the Panamanian Caribbean. The region is semi-autonomous and is inhabited largely by the Kuna people who've tried to keep their lands (which are basically paradise, by the way) out of the hands of tourism promoters and land speculators.

So, the capacity for visitors is pretty limited. However, once you arrive (45min. flight from Panama City), the possibilities are endless. You have an incredible sea, postcard-ready islands, clean beaches, and friendly people. And while the services are extremely limited, once you arrive in such a setting you really won't notice.

I stayed a week in Isla needle (ICODUB in Kuna language). It is purely an island paradise. It's easy to visit, quiet, about 10 minutes from the coast of San Blas or Carti airport. It has toilet facilities, restaurant, solar palenes, cabins, friendly people, tasty food and a clean beach with crystal clear water. It is very rich in Kuna culture. This island is the most visited of all the islands in ​​Carti, San Blas Gulf.
