Flight
Matecaña International Airport - PEI is your final destination. Most of the time there are no direct flights and only connecting to Panama or Bogota. But if you find direct flights, then great! We STRONGLY suggest you purchase flights between NOW - to late early March. Flight between March-August get crazyyyyy expensive!
Rental Car
Just like any other place, it's way cheaper to take Ubers than a Taxi, and it's very common to take Ubers over there as well :)
