Puerto Obaldia is a city in Kuna Yala province of Eastern Panama. A ramshackle collection of decrepit houses, mostly with damaged or missing roofs, a beach littered with rubbish. An internet cafe, a supermarket, two hostels, two restaurants. But Puerto Obaldia is the little known and dirt-cheap alternative to travel from Colombia to Panama and vice versa.
Restaurant run by the owner of Pension Cande. Reasonable breakfasts, lunches and dinners. You need to tell in advance if you want to have your dinner here.
The shop with the biggest selection in town with plenty of beer and other alcoholic drinks.
By plane from Panama City
Commercial flights to Puerto Obaldía are available through Air Panama and FlyTrip. Alternatively, charter flights can be arranged through providers such as Blue Skies Panama.
By road
Puerto Obaldia cannot be reached overland.
The roads are big enough for motorbikes but there is so far only one in town. Walking is the best option.
