Accommodations
In Panama City we use the new TRYP Panama Centro, with many restaurants and stores within walking distance. For Guna Yala/San Blas we stay with our friend Juan Garcia at Cabañas Ukuptupu, a simple family-run hotel surrounded by two Guna communities. It is important to notice that traveling to Guna Yala is like traveling back in time, therefore the accommodations are very primitive (i.e., bucket and barrel shower system, no TV, no A/C, toilets outside the rooms), but this is part of the cultural experience, and we only stay one night there. For Panamanian flavor in Santa Fe we use the basic, jet cozy, Hotel Santa Fe, with amazing views and a perfect location close to the National Park. And in the lovely town of Boquete we stay at Isla Verde, a very comfortable small hotel with beautiful gardens and excellent restaurants nearby.
