The San Blas Islands are open for national and international travelers. A Covid-test or proof of vaccination is NOT required to visit San Blas but masks are mandatory in crowded places and during transport (car, boat).
Additionally the following measures are in place for San Blas: limited number of visitors per island, limited number of islands opened (all islands on our homepage are OPEN), registration of all visitors 48h before the travel date, visits to Kuna villages highly restricted.
