Almost exactly two days after we lifted the anchor in Providencia we are arriving at the Holandes Cays, a small group of islands belonging to the San Blas Islands. The San Blas Islands are a vast archipelago on Panama´s Caribbean cost composed of over 340 islands.
Those islands and the associated mainland territory are called Kuna Yale by the autonomous Kuna Indians who effectively control this quarter of Panama. They are worldwide unique and have best preserved there culture and traditions out of all the tribes in the Americas. Kunas do not like the name ”San Blas”, since it was given by the Spanish invaders. Kunas also preserve there environment and do not claim passion by industrial development. That is why the landscape still looks much the same as when Vasco Nunez de Balboa first arrived.
