Travel to Guna Yala, Panama – Episode 610

Hear about travel to the Guna Yala region of Panama as the Amateur Traveler talks to Lynn Smith from lynnsmithdestinations.com about a small boat cruise in these remote islands.

Lynn says, “we are going to talk about going to Panama, the city of Panama City and not spending any time there but moving very quickly to the coast and spend 5 nights aboard a charter boat and enjoy the Guna Yala islands off the Caribbean coast of Panama. We’re looking for some fairly untouched reefs off the coast of Central America. It’s easy to get there. You can get away from it all and enjoy some quiet time aboard a boat.”

The Guna Yala islands are administered by the indigenous Guna people who are known for fishing and for their colorful textile art. You can spend some time interacting with the Guna people in on of their villages, on a waterfall hike, or just interact with the boat people who get you to your vessel and with the daily fruit boat.

Some of the many islands in the Guna Yala are probably smaller than your house or apartment. There are many islands to explore that are uninhabited. Snorkeling the reef is nearly mandatory but scuba is prohibited in the area.

This vacation is one where you come and disconnect in a tropical paradise. Hear about this sun-drenched tranquil corner of Panama.

I’ve been listening for years and I still love it. Chris would be enjoyable to listen to no matter what he was talking about, a rare skill in podcasters. But the fact that his content is always interesting and engaging makes it oh so much better. He picks the greatest places to talk about and the best guests to interview. But most of all, he knows just the right questions to ask to make the location they are discussing come alive. Thanks Chris for all the great content you have produced. I am looking forward to hearing what is next.
