San Blas (Guna Yala)

Beaches

An archipelago of 365 coral islands governed by the Guna people, with the clearest water in the Caribbean.

San Blas is an autonomous Indigenous territory where the Guna people have lived for centuries. Days are spent sailing between tiny islands, sleeping in thatched cabins over the water and eating fish caught the same morning. There are no big hotels here, and that is exactly the point.
