About Isla Perro Chico
Isla Perro Chico is a small island of white sand and palm trees in the San Blas archipelago, in the Guna Yala region of Panama. It is surrounded by shallow, crystal-clear water and coral, and it is famous for the shipwreck that lies just off the beach, one of the best snorkeling spots in San Blas.
Spend your days swimming, snorkeling with tropical fish and relaxing under the palms. When the day-trip boats leave, the island becomes quiet, and you get the sunset almost to yourself.
