The 378 islands of San Blas are part of an autonomous community independently ruled by the Kuna Indians. Situated along the Caribbean Coast of Panama in the Gulf of San Blas, out of all the islands, only 49 are inhabited.

Tourism isn't overly developed which makes this tropical paradise amongst coral reefs, palms and white beaches heaven on earth. The islands economy is based on fishing, snorkelling, coconut sales and the famously known “mola”, rainbow coloured fabric, emblazoned with fish, jungle animals, birds and geometric designs. San Blas offers a charming step into the past.
