From the Spaniards from theirs original home displaced, the Kuna have been living on the Caribbean coast of Panama from fishing, hunting and a little agriculture since the 18th century. In the mostly extremely simple wooden huts, people cook over an open fire and sleep in hammocks. There is only one lower school on the island, which is why there are hardly any middle-aged people to be found.

Tourism and other sources of income would make the kuna rich, yes very few know how to deal with all that money. In addition to the colorful splendor, the women wear eye-catching gold jewelry and smartphones and televisions run on solar power. Marco tells us about a man who missed $ 50,000 in three months on alcohol and this is by no means an isolated incident. Likewise represents waste an ever increasing problem. Since the Kuna live largely from the sea, according to their beliefs, they return all remains to Grandmother Sea.

Then the boats are loaded and go on. After an hour and a half, somewhat jerky drive along the coast we reach the next wonderful island called Tupile. The food will soon be served there and we will use the afternoon hours for Bathing and doing sports.

Later we go by boat to a neighboring island, where two pitiful spider monkeys are tied to palm trees. Probably to the amusement of tourists. The sky is mostly covered with clouds, so there is only little bathing, but all the more drinking.
