Scoping out the transportation options in San Carlos can help keep you on budget. The most convenient airport is 14.3 mi (23 km) from the center in Rio Hato (RIH-Scarlett Martinez Intl.). However, if that doesn't suit your budget, you can look into flights to Panama City (PAC-Marcos A. Gelabert Intl.), which is 42.9 mi (69 km) away. San Carlos might not have many public transit options to choose from so a rental car could be a reasonable alternative to see more of the area.
