About Isla Pelícano
Isla Pelícano is a small island of white sand and palm trees in the San Blas archipelago, a territory of more than 300 islands governed by the Guna people. It is surrounded by turquoise, shallow water, perfect for swimming and disconnecting.
In December 2018, the series Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) filmed scenes for its third season in Guna Yala, and Isla Pelícano became known among travelers as the Money Heist island. Guna Yala Explorer is not affiliated with Netflix or the series.
You stay in a cabin built over the sea, with its own private bathroom, falling asleep to the sound of the waves.
