About San Blas Islands
The San Blas are an archipelago of more than 350 islands located in the Caribbean off the coast of Panama. These tropical islands, covered with white sand and coconut groves, are pristine environments inhabited only by the Kuna, its indigenous Indians. The Kuna have resisted change and maintained their traditional culture ever since the Spanish made contact over 500 years ago. San Blas province has its own government, and each island has a chief.
San Blas Islands Attractions
The intricate stitchery produced by the women of the Cuna Indians is world famous and not to be missed. Their primitive culture is maintained in this archipelago that seems to resist the effects of time, offering you a glimpse of a unique island society.
The 48 mile-long (77 km) international waterway known as the Panama Canal allows ships to pass between the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean, saving about 8000 miles (12,875 km) from a journey around the southern tip of South America, Cape Horn.
This recently developed port with its modern shopping plazas is just next door to Panama City, once a vital link along the Golden Main. Be sure to visit both old and new, and shop for duty-free bargains, including the famous "molas" hand-woven by the Cuna Indians of San Blas.
Surrounded by steep hills and tropical rain forest, Golfito has a sheltered position on the Golfo Dulce on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. From here you can explore the Corcovado National Park and the black sand beach at Zancudo. The town was founded in the 1930's as a banana port.
Golfito Attractions
This charming town on the Golfo Dulce is the perfect jumping-off point for exploring the Corcovado National Park, the black-sand beach at Zancudo and other Costa Rican wonders.
Puntarenas is the Pacific coast gateway to Costa Rica. From Puntarenas visit the Rain Forest, Cloud Forest and Poas National Park. Also see San Jose, the capital city, located in the central valley at an altitude of 3,450 feet enjoying a "Spring-Like" average temperature of 72 degrees.
The country is located on the Central American isthmus and is bounded on the north by Nicaragua, the Southeast by Panama, the east by the Atlantic Ocean and the west by the Pacific Ocean. With its tall mountains, forested slopes, green pasture lands and lush vegetation, Costa Rica is often referred to as the "Switzerland of Central America." A mountainous country, Costa Rica ranges from sea level to peaks as high as 13,000 feet and a succession of white, sandy beaches follow one another along the Pacific Coast. The country was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1502. Rumors of vast gold treasures (which never materialized ) led to the country's name - "Rich Coast."
Puntarenas Attractions
Puntarenas is a paradise for eco-tourists. Explore the rain forest on a horseback ride through the enchanting Valley of the Monkeys, where hundred-year-old trees are draped with orchids, ferns and bromeliads. You might see howler monkeys, butterflies, parrots and other colorful birds.
Puntarenas Activities
Explore the largest crater and some of the most varied flora in the world on a breathtaking tour of Poas Volcano National Park.
Learn the techniques of coffee-farming, harvesting, milling and roasting. Then visit Pura Vida and enjoy the exquisite cuisine, beautiful gardens and native deer.
