    80 Senses #44… The Kuna people, San Blas Islands

     

    It’s almost understandable that there are ‘lost’ tribes in countries as huge as Brazil, but somewhat more unusual in places as small as Panama.

    A short flight from Panama City north takes you to the beautiful San Blas island archipelago, a slice of Caribbean paradise but also home to the indigenous Kuna tribe, who are self-governing and autonomous from the rest of Panama.
