In this episode, I head to the remote San Blas Islands—also known as Guna Yala—for a two-day escape on one of the most beautiful stretches of sand I’ve ever seen. I share what it’s really like to visit these tiny, palm-dotted islands with an organized tour, from the early-morning 4x4 ride through the jungle to island-hopping, sandbars, simple beach cabins, and a hilariously unforgettable bonfire night with travelers from around the world. If you’re choosing between San Blas and Bocas del Toro, or just wondering what to expect, this episode breaks down the vibe, the logistics, and everything I learned along the way.
