San Blas Islands

The San Blas Islands are a group of over 365 islands located off the northeastern coast of Panama in the Caribbean Sea. The islands are part of the Comarca Kuna Yala, an autonomous region of Panama, and are home to the Kuna people.

The islands are known for their pristine white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and abundance of wildlife. The San Blas Islands are a popular destination for snorkelling, sailing, fishing, and kayaking.

Geographically, the islands are located between the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of San Blas. The islands are spread out over an area of approximately 100 square miles, with the majority of them located in the gulf. The highest point on the islands is Mount Ustupu, which stands at just over 500 feet.

In addition to its natural beauty, the San Blas Islands are also home to a rich cultural history. The Kuna people have lived on the islands for centuries, and their culture and traditions have been passed down from generation to generation. The islands are also home to several historical sites, including the remains of a 16th century Spanish fort.

The San Blas Islands have played an important role in Panama's history. During the Spanish colonization of the Americas, the islands served as an important trading post, and in the 19th century, they were a key point of contention during the Panama Revolution.

Today, the San Blas Islands remain an important part of Panama's culture and history. The islands are a popular tourist destination, and the Kuna people continue to practice their traditional way of life.
