San Blas Islands, Panama
The San Blas Archipelago is located
along the Caribbean coast of Panama
east of the Panama Canal and
stretching almost to the Colombian
border. It is a series of approximately
350 islands of which no more than 50
are inhabited by the Kuna Indians.
Only a 20-minute plane ride, or 2-hour
truck ride from Panama City, a trip to
the San Blas islands will transport you
centuries into the past. The friendly
Kuna Indians, who run all the islands as
an autonomous province with minimal
interference from the national
government, have maintained their own
economic system, language, customs
and culture, with distinctive dress,
legends, music and dance. The area is
surrounded by reefs, some of the
oldest in the world, and offers
wonderful sailing, snorkeling, and
swimming opportunities.
