The Kuna say their archipelago has 'one island for every day of the year.'
Stretched along the Caribbean coast of Panama from the Golfo de San Blás to the edge of the Colombian border, the archipelago is home to the Kuna people. They run San Blás as an autonomous region - the Comarca de Kuna Yala - with minimal interference from the national government.
They maintain their own economic system, language, customs and culture, with distinctive dress, legends, music and dance. The economy of the islands is based on coconut sales, fishing and tourism, offering travellers the opportinity to dive, snorkle and swim.
