San Blas Islands, Panama
The islands are close to the shore 50 miles along the coast from Panama. Inhabited by the Kuna’s they are a semi autonomous region that largely keep to their traditional lifestyle.
Top left - slash and burn agriculture on the mainland.
Top right - Tourist hotel, I couldn’t think of a lovelier place to visit and easily accessible by air through Panama.
The villages were very democratic , some having ‘congresos’ every day were issues of the moment were discussed by the whole village. Something like a Steiner ‘college of teachers’.
