Subdivisions |
Panama is divided into ten provinces (Spanish: provincias) and four provincial-level indigenous regions (Spanish: comarcas indígenas, often shortened to comarcas).
There are also two indigenous regions within provinces that are considered equivalent to a corregimiento (municipality).
