Provinces of Panama
Appearance
Panama is divided into ten provinces (Spanish: provincias). There are three provincial-level indigenous regions (Spanish: comarcas indígenas, often shortened to comarcas). [N 1]
There are also two indigenous comarcas within provinces that are considered equivalent to a corregimiento (municipality).
