Counting money is never a good idea, especially if you are young and going around traveling. Luckily  Isla Contadora (Island of the Accounting Office) was once the place for counting the pearls that had to be sent to Spain but today is just one of the most beautiful islands just out of Panama city, where to spend some time to relax. Thanks to several restrictions on tax evasion, the island, which used to be a refuge of many multimillionaires, has become a super destination for us to visit.

The itinerary

6:45 AM: opening time of ferry check-in Isla Flamenco, Amador, where the fast ferry will depart to Isla Contadora located in the gulf of Panama about 50 km from the mainland. Boarding and departure at 7:30 AM. During the trip it is possible to cross the large ships heading to the Canal, spot dolphins swimming gently in the moderate waves and whales in transit during the migration in the periods from July to October. Las Perlas archipelago is a group of over 180 islands of different sizes, about 40 islands inhabited and the rest completely uninhabited. Isla del Rey is the second largest island in Panama with an extension similar to the size of all the islands of Las Perlas archipelago. The best known for tourism and destination for Panama’s wealthy families is Isla Contadora, which takes its name from the count of pearls collected during the Spanish colonization in the 16th century.
