Duborgana The San Blas Experience
¨The concept of our island was to keep it purely and naturally as we found it when we began to visit it and make our plans. We do not want to create modern structures, and we will do our best to preserve the beauty of this island in its pure natural way as it has offered us. We follow an environmental program to reduce the impact, and we are always looking for ways in which we can work with our visitors without harming the sea and our ecosystem.¨ – Niko
