If you’re planning to visit Panama and stay on the San Blas Islands, here’s something honest you should know 🌴
Vegetarian food is very limited here because these islands sit right in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, and life revolves around fishing.
Fresh seafood is what gets caught, cooked, and eaten every day.
So if you eat fish or meat, you’re sorted.
But if you’re vegetarian, it takes a little more patience.
I was the only vegetarian on the island during our stay, and I didn’t know what to expect. But the Indigenous people who run these islands were incredibly kind and tried their best to accommodate me.
I never left with an empty plate 🤍
Lunch and dinner were simple.. coconut-flavored rice, fried plantains, a bit of salad. It wasn’t fancy or varied, but it was warm, filling, and made with intention. And honestly, that mattered more.
Breakfast was basic too.. fried dough with chocolate or syrup, fresh fruits, coffee and somehow, it all tasted better in this slow, island life...
