kayaking

With the biggest days of the Guna Yala revolution celebration coming up, Kacper and I decide to spend a few days in Ailigandi to experience it. With no idea what to expect, we have an amazing experience where we are welcomed and included in the celebrations. After the celebrations, we continue towards Colombia.

Kacper and I enter the territoriiy of Guna Yala and the San Blas Islands. This was the region we had been dreaming of paddling through. Islands as far as the eye can see, endless reefs full of sea life, and as many coconuts as you can open. While it was this remote island life we were dreaming of, the true surprise of this section would be the Guna people we would meet.

After talking about this trip for months and planning for weeks, the moment to embark on one of the most ambitious journeys of my life was about to begin. My mind was running with thoughts and doubts about this adventure the more we learned what we were about to encounter, sometimes ignorance truly is bliss.
