After an incredible four days exploring the Colombian coast, today we entered Panama and arrived at the iconic Indigenous territory of Guna Yala. This Indigenous group is perhaps the strongest organized native group in the Americas, having a semi-autonomous nation within the nation. They are well-recognized for the iconic Mola, an extremely colorful reverse-applique tapestry that emerges from their beliefs and folklore.
We arrived on the outer banks which offer a great location for pristine coral reefs. This was just the right stop after four wonderfully busy days in Colombia — the chance to swim and relax and enjoy this remote island all for ourselves. In the afternoon we enjoyed a mesmerizing flute dance, which gave us incredible photographs and videos of these magnificent wind instruments originally created in the Andes.
