Getting Around:

Binter is the local airline and although flying is not cheap, it is infinitely faster than the alternatives of bus and ferry. The islands are connected by roll-on roll-off ferries, hydrofoils and jetfoils. Buses are known as guaguas, which will bring a smile of recognition to anyone who has traveled in Latin America. Taxis are widely available, but also much more expensive.
