The San Blas Archipelago paradise is located in the northeast of
the country. There is one island for every day of the year
along the two hundred miles of coral reefs on the
Caribbean Coast.
 The San Blas Islands
are located just a few miles off the Caribbean Coast of Panama.
These islands are home to the rich history of the Kuna Indians
that inhabit them still living as they did hundreds of years ago!
They still live in their simple huts and wear colorful costumes in
their day to day activities and welcome visitors warmly while
inviting them to live as they do. Visiting the land of Kuna
Indians will take you twenty centuries back into the past.
The islands are a short 20-minute daily hop from Panama City,
where your destination can be one of the myriad islands of
interest. Some companies offer charters or regular
flights. You can also reach
the islands by road during the dry season using a strong 4X4 car
and taking the Panamerican Highway towards the Bayano region
turning off at El Llano de Chepo which takes you straight to the
coastal community of Carti where you can rent cayucos or boats to
sail to your selected island.
Hotels and restaurants are available on most of the islands. These
restaurants offer seafood freshly fished daily by the
Indians.
Also, you find tour services, boats or cayuco rentals.
 San Blas has the peculiarity of
offering excellent white sand
beaches and clear waters on every island. A perfect place for
snorkeling and diving. The most visited islands are Nargana,
Corazon de Jesus, Wichuwala, Nalunanega o Isla del Pargo,
Ailigandi, and Iskardup, where you can learn about the aborigine
culture and acquire the famous hand made "Molas".
