Subdivisions

Panama is divided into ten provinces (Template:Lang-es). There are three provincial-level indigenous regions (Spanish: comarcas indígenas, often foreshortened to comarcas).

There are also two indigenous comarcas within provinces that are considered equivalent to a corregimiento (municipality).
