#LonelyPlanet writer @masmerquen's lunch on a recent assignment - Comarca de Guna Yala, #Panama, #CentralAmerica. Imagine a turquoise tropical archipelago with one island for every day of the year. With white sand and waving palms, these Caribbean islands cheat no one’s version of paradise. The Comarca is home to the Kuna, the first group in Latin America to gain indigenous autonomy. Though they have had contact with Europeans since Columbus sailed these waters in 1502, clan identity is paramount, and many make tenacious efforts to preserve a traditional way of life. #LPinPanama #travel #ocean Hotels-live.com via www.instagram.com/p/BBV4VjAqTQJ/ #Travel via http://flic.kr/p/DKtEGh
