The road into San Blas Kuna Yala is vastly improving and is accessible all year round. A 4x4 vehicle is still recommended. However a bridge has recently been opened, eliminating the need to cross the river in the vehicle. (Sep. 2010). Currently there are a number of Kuna run tour operators that will pick you up from your hotel or hostel in Panama City and drive you to Carti, which is part of the San Blas Islands (25 US each way for transportation). Additionally a "road tax" of 6 US is charged in the jungle plus 2 US "tax" upon arrival on the old air strip of Carti (both ways).
Please check with your hostel, hotel or tour operator for the current condition of the road and transport to San Blas. The road is currently(April 2011) open after being closed for close to 4 months. But the Kuna Congresso is limiting access. Currently private cars are not allowed to enter without prior permission.
