Only 49 of the San Blas islands are inhabited by the fiercely independent Kuna Indians. A 20-minute plane ride away from Panama City, a trip to the San Blas islands will transport you 20 centuries into the past...

The Kunas, have held on to their ancient lifestyle, language, customs, culture and traditions, and thus have avoided traditional tourism development. Facilities are few and simple so do not expect much.
