The San Blas Islands (Guna Yala) are an archipelago of more than 350 islands and cays along Panama’s Caribbean coast. They are governed by the indigenous Guna people, who maintain considerable autonomy and preserve their traditions. The islands are renowned for white sandy beaches, palm trees, and coral reefs, making them a haven for sustainable tourism.
