The
San Blas
Islands offer unparalleled opportunities to submerse yourself
in Panamanian indigenous culture.
San Blas Islands |
Located in
the northwestern corner of Panama in the Caribbean Sea, the 300-island
archipelago remains virtually untouched by commercial development.
The largest native group in the Americas, the Kuna Indians, won
independence from the Panamanian government in 1933 and now own
and govern the San Blas Islands. Kuna women sew the very colorful
reverse appliquéd cotton molas that are the basis for their
dress, and the men spend much of their time fishing. The clear
waters around the small rocky, palm-studded islands are perfect
for snorkeling, fishing and diving.
Here, you will feel the culture of an indigenous people and live
void of materialistic influence.
