caption_attribution_description: English: The map shows the provinces and three comarcas with provincial status. The two comarcas that don't have provincial status (Kuna de Madungandí and Kuna de Waragandí) are not shown. All provincial and comarcal capitals are shown with a circled dot, with the exception of Unión Chocó (the capital of Emberá), which I was unable to find on any map to which I had access. Note that the position of Quebrada Guabo is approximate. All towns and cities with a population greater than 10,000 are shown on the map, unless in very close proximity to a larger town or city. Towns and cities with population greater than 50,000 are shown with their names in a larger size. Some of the provincial/comarcal capitals have a smaller population than 10,000 and have their names in italics. Outside of the Republic of Panama, only towns with a population larger than 50,000 are shown. The national capital is indicated with its name underlined.
context_page_description: Guna Yala, formerly known as San Blas, is a comarca indígena in northeast Panama. Guna Yala is home to the indigenous people known as the Gunas. Its capital is El Porvenir. It is bounded on the north by the Caribbean Sea, on the south by the Darién Province and Emberá-Wounaan, on the east by Colombia, and on the west by the province of Colón.
context_section_description: The Guna District of Yala has an area of 2.306 square kilometres (0.89 sq mi). It consists of a narrow strip of land of 373-kilometre (232 mi) long on the east coast of Caribbean Panama, bordering the province of Darién and Colombia. An archipelago of 365 islands is around the coast, of which 50 are inhabited.
  By boat, going from the most southeastern point, Puerto Obaldia, to the most northwestern point, El Porvenir, is a bit more than 100 miles.
