With one island for every day of the year (and more) along with two hundred miles of coral reefs, the San Blas archipelago is a paradise of white sand beaches and transparent waters. The pristine nature of this Caribbean coastline is home to the rich history of the Kuna Indians, one of Panama’s indigenous tribes, whom supplement the area in its preservation and colorful way of life. The Kuna warmly welcome visitors in their traditional dress to share in their day-to-day activities, music, food and art. Explore the aboriginal customs and practices and acquire one of their famous handmade molas, a colorful cloth piece hand-sewn by the tribe’s women.
Snorkel, dive and sail on the popular islands of Nargana, Corazón de Jesús, Wichuwala, Nalunanega, Ailigandi and Iskardup, or find an island of your own, as only 10% of the islands are inhabited. Hold starfish and lobsters larger than you have ever imagined, and beach comb for shells for the island’s range of creatures. Restaurants and locals fish for the catch of the day for lunch and dinner. San Blas is a must-see restorative experience of natural beauty.
