Today, National Geographic Orion cruised along the Caribbean side of Panama. Several small islands were spotted in the distance. These little islands are part of an immense archipelago, an autonomous area called the Guna Yala archipelago.
When we finally arrived, a lovely white-sand island surrounded by turquoise water invited us to disembark and explore. Local Guna people shared traditional music and dance performances. Our guests had the opportunity to visit each mola artist and learn about the meaning of the handcrafted textiles.
The other highlight of our visit was an opportunity to snorkel. Guests observed different species of hard and soft coral. Colorful reef fish were also enjoyed.
Back on board, we all gathered in the lounge to share thoughts about our marvelous day in the Holandeses Cayes.
