Panama Caribbean coast Daily from Panama City 3 days, 2 nights The isolated San Blas Islands are home to the Kuna indians, whose culture has been remarkably preserved in modern times. They organise their way of life with total autonomy: land is communally owned and local laws are enforced. You will be staying in Kuna-style thatched, bamboo huts, lit by lanterns, and served communal meals. There will be ample opportunity to witness traditional ceremonies, and  hike through forests of fruit trees – mango, cocoa, plantain. You can snorkel, or relax on the sugar-white sand beach.   How about? Combining this itinerary with a visit to the National Park of Darién. The park is vast and great for nature lovers who want to get off the beaten track (please enquire).
