The Islands

Explore the Las Perlas Archipelago in the best way possible: taking a tour of the islands to see postcard-worthy beaches, rocky islands, trails full of life and much more.

The main island of the archipelago is Contadora Island. Due to the convenience of its services and the number of rental houses it offers, it's a good destination to visit as a point of reference. In addition, this small island has more than 10 beaches, each with its own different personality. Visit Playa Larga, Playa Sueca or Playa Cacique, the most well-known, and enjoy the water by surfing, windsurfing or snorkeling.

If you want to stay on more isolated islands, visit the islands of Saboga, Bolanos and San Jose. All three have hotels in the middle of nature where you'll find a haven of peace. Practice yoga, hiking or discover the enormous marine beauty with a good snorkeling session. San Jose Island enchants beach lovers with a variety of golden, white and black sand.

For those seeking a connection with nature and to enjoy the landscape to the fullest, the best thing to do is to visit deserted islands such as Mogo Mog, Playa Caracol, Chapera, Bartolome and Boyarena Key. On these islands, the white of the sand, the turquoise of the water and the green of the forests are the only things that paint the landscape. Underwater, there is a whole world of colors full of life and on the beaches the trees give shade and shelter to birds, monkeys, reptiles and other biodiversity of the region.
