Sailing San Blas islands Panama
Sailing the San Blas Islands of Panama is one of the most popular navigations in the Caribbean, the first reason for this is that the San Blas Islands are very close to each other.
The archipelago of the San Blas Islands of Panama includes 365 islands spread over a small territory.
The islands are very low in the water and the seabed is shallow, which gives the archipelago of the San Blas Islands of Panama this magnificent turquoise color. In addition to this, the Kuna practice the cultivation of coconuts on the San Blas islands, resulting in the islands being very rich in coconut palms which combine with the turquoise color of the Caribbean Sea and the geographical proximity of these hundreds of islands, gives those who have sailed the San Blas Islands the impression of being in Polynesia.
Sailing San Blas Island is quite simple, but you should not rely solely on the GPS because many corals and shallows are not listed and every year many sailors (experienced for some of them and require assistance to get out of shoals or worse out of the rocks). That is the reason why we don’t do bareboat charters in San Blas. We trust our captains because they perfectly know the area, and also the secret sailing spots of San Blas islands.
The San Blas Islands are not subject to strong winds like the islands of Sint Maarten or the British Virgin Islands, however, there are some strong gales in the San Blas Islands called ”Culo de Pollo” which requires anchoring have enough chain not to drift. If you are sailing in the San Blas Islands these strong winds will require you to be reactive and to be able to lower the sails quickly

What to put in my suitcase for San Blas Panama
What should you bring in your luggage for the San Blas Islands?
Traveling light is best for several reasons.
*Because you will spend ¾ of your time in a swimsuit
*Because the lancha that takes you to San Blas from the port of Carti cannot be overloaded and the maximum size allowed is an airplane cabin type suitcase.
*Because if you go to San Blas by plane, it is also not possible to be too heavy on board and a “cabin type suitcase” is recommended.
What should I put in my suitcase for the San Blas Panama Islands?
*2 swimsuits (5 if you like fashion)
*1 or 2 beach towels
*Toiletries
*1 mosquito repellent spray for the sunset on the islands (on board the boats there are never mosquitoes)
*Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat (an anti-UV T-shirt if your skin is very sensitive)
*Camera and charger
*1 light cotton or linen pants
*1 lightweight long-sleeved cotton or linen shirt
*2 shorts / 2 T-shirts
*Cash money because there is no ATM or bank in the San Blas Islands and your bank card will be useless if you want to buy a souvenir from the Kuna people or go for a drink in a local bar
*Your passport to be able to enter the territory of Guna Yala (San Blas islands Panama)
Can we dress as we want to visit San Blas islands / Panama
Can we dress as we want in San Blas islands Panama?
The Kuna people are very open-minded, and if they prefer to wear traditional clothes for themselves, it does not mean that they are closed-minded. It is therefore possible to dress as you wish in the San Blas Islands of Panama, however, nudism and topless are prohibited.
Why shouldn’t you pick up fallen coconuts?
Nothing to do with a sanitary or hygienic problem. Until not long ago the currency used by the Kuna was the coconut, its value is $0.25 for a Kuna and $1 for a tourist. Today the dollar has replaced the coconut, but the Kuna of the San Blas islands continue to use this currency among themselves.
The coconut also represents life, in the sense that the Kunas of the San Blas Islands do not have access to water and therefore for centuries their survival was only possible thanks to rainwater and the precious coconuts. .
Therefore, for the Kuna people of the San Blas Islands of Panama; coconuts are considered a highly precious commodity.
Even the coconuts you can find on the desert islands of San Blas belong to someone and are collected regularly to be exchanged for other products.
It is very unwelcome to serve oneself.

DISCOVER THE MATRIARCHAL CULTURE AND ANCESTRAL TRADITIONS OF SAN-BLAS DURING YOUR VACATION
Welcome in Guna yala (known as San-Blas islands) if you ask yourself what can look like a matriarchal community, you should meet the Kuna people. Let me introduce you to one of the few feminist societies of this planet: San Blas.
Kuna people is at the beginning a mix between Mayas and Indians of Amazonia. With the arrival of the European inviders they moved from the jungle to the San-Blas islands where they established themselves. They are a matriarchal society. It s may be cliche but it s a fact than their women society is a lot more open minded than the classical patriarchal one.
First of all, people of Guna Yala have no idea about what is feminism or matriarchal society, they just live like that since ever. Women never had to fight to have a place and live in real harmony with Male and nature. Women are free to make up, shave or not, wear traditional clothes or not, and breastfeeding where they want because the traditional way of life Kuna, protect them from the sexualization of the women body.
More information about Kunas here
KUNA THIRD GENDER
As open minded persons, the San-Blas people also let the kids free to choose their gender without any pression. So it’s common to see the ones that the Kunas call Omeggid, what literally mean “like a woman” in the village. This men wear clothes, act and work like the other women of the kuna community. Most of the time male become female, the inverse is really rare, but when it happens, the Guna Yala community accept it the same way.
What we call ‘third gender’ is just completely normal in San-Blas. When a boy show tendencies to act as a women, the family naturally accepts and allows him to grow up as he want. Most of the time they do sewing Molas as work and as the others women, they take decisions. You have to understand that It’s not about tolerance, cause tolerance mean that something is not normal, it’s just about being who you wanted to be. And it’s interesting to see this from our American and European point of view, because the Guna Yala people live it really naturally, when the third gender always bring polemics in our societies. This acceptation is a specificity of San Blas and it’s not the same in Panama.

OPEN MINDED KUNA RELIGION
As the Albinism (San Blas is the highest rate of albinism in the world and albinos people are sacred for Kunas), the third gender also have a specific place in Guna mythology, Wigudum was a leader and also one of the three children of God, and was half men and half women. Hunting the day time and sawing the evening. It’s important to understand that for GunaYala people Fishing and hunting is considered as the same value than cooking sewing or looking after children: the Gunas do not consider what we call women’s labour to be less important and it’s an important step for equality. (If you want to read more about tradition in San-Blas you can read our article on GunaYala way of life and kuna culture)
More information about Kunas here
ANCESTRAL GUNA YALA WAY OF LIFE
So, the women decide for almost everything but are rarely chef or politics. They let this kind of work to men. They prefer working the extraordinary art of sewing Molas (that also, what bring the better income in the family) when a man become an husband, he move from his parent house to the one of his wife, most of the time the men are fisherman and sale their fishing to the tourists to bring back money home, even before the arrival of tourism they were doing the same with pirates and other boats coming from europe. When the couple have their first childs, they raise them in respect of tradition and if the baby is a little girl the whole village make a big ceremony to celebrate the venue of a new women in the community, an other really important Kuna ceremony is also made when a girl pass from teenager to adult, and at the death of the mother, the heritage of land and house will be share between the daughters of the couple. If you want to learn more about Kuna people, traditions of Guna Yala and albinism in San Blas islands you can read our article about the Kuna culture and their history, you will learn more interesting fact about this surprising community before to visit them.
