Porvenir Airport
31 January 2011 | Isla Porvenir, Kuna Yala, Panama
Photo of a very short landing airstrip with the only hotel and restaurant on the island.
Porvenir is a good place to pick up family and friends flying in from Panama city for a holiday. There are daily flights to Albrook Airport in Panama ($39 US one way) and while we were anchored there, a flight arrived and left shortly after 7 am. I've attached extra photos in the gallery so that you will be well informed as to what to expect (if you decide to join us), that being, not much! There's a small Kuna hotel and restaurant but we didn't go inside to check it out. No need, as you will see from the photos, the anchorage in Porvenir is right in front of the landing strip and the other anchorages and other islands are between 5 and 10 miles away (1 or 2 boat hours), so you won't be stranded for long.
