The traditional houses have few or no windows, a dirt floor, and little to no furniture. There are small structures built over the water and connected to the house by a wide plank.

Die traditionellen H\u00e4user haben wenige oder keine Fenster, einen Lehmboden und meist keine M\u00f6bel. Anstelle von Betten benutzen die Guna H\u00e4ngematten.  Es gibt kleine H\u00e4uschen, die \u00fcber dem Wasser gebaut und durch eine breite Planke mit dem Wohngeb\u00e4ude verbunden sind.

But how do they get all the other building materials? And what about other supplies? And food? This is where the trading ships from Colombia and the Panamanian mainland come in. They come to the islands and we watch the locals unload everything from gasoline, propane, and building supplies to food and beverages. At one point, we watch vendors from the boats spread out their wares on tarps for the locals to buy, such as clothes, shoes, cookware, utensils, diapers, and toiletries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\">F\u00fcr ihre traditionellen H\u00e4user nehmen die Guna Bambus und Palmbl\u00e4tter von ihrer eigenen oder einer benachbarten Insel sowie von Land entlang der Fl\u00fcsse. Aber woher bekommen sie all die anderen Baumaterialien? Und was ist mit den sonstigen Waren? Und Lebensmittel? An dieser Stelle kommen die Handelsschiffe aus Kolumbien und dem panamaischen Festland ins Spiel. Sie kommen zu den Inseln und wir beobachten, wie die Einheimischen alles von Benzin, Propan und Baumaterial bis hin zu Lebensmitteln und Getr\u00e4nken entladen. Einmal sehen wir, wie die Verk\u00e4ufer von den Booten ihre Waren auf Planen ausbreiten, damit die Einheimischen sie kaufen k\u00f6nnen, z. B. Kleidung, Schuhe, Kochgeschirr, Geschirr, Windeln und Toilettenartikel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241017_174347342.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1053\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_145718786.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_150356527.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_150356527.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_150356527-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_150356527-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_150356527-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_150356527-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_150356527-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241102_134759509.jpg?w=768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1055\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241102_135120504.jpg?w=835\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1054\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Groceries can be bought in small tiendas on the islands. Most stores are just a dimly lit room with a few shelves, and we stand in front of the window and ask for what we need, hoping they have it in stock. On one island, a nice guna took us to four different tiendas before we found some eggs. After four weeks, our supply of fresh fruit and vegetables was down to a few potatoes, carrots and onions. So we take every opportunity to replenish our supplies. Sometimes a Guna paddles past our boat with some fruits and vegetables, mainly bananas and plantains, or fish, crabs and lobsters, sometimes we find items in the store. The variety is very limited. I&#8217;m thrilled when I get a pineapple or papaya and have to make do with carrots, potatoes and plantains. The occasional tomato or cucumber is a treat! Another treat is Guna bread (plain white bread) and cinnamon bread. Both very tasty! We&#8217;ve been able to buy them in panaderias or even directly from Guna families who live alone on some of the islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\">Lebensmittel kann man auf den Inseln in kleinen Tiendas kaufen. Die meisten Gesch\u00e4fte sind nur ein schwach beleuchteter Raum mit ein paar Regalen, und wir stehen vor dem Fenster und fragen nach dem, was wir brauchen, in der Hoffnung, dass sie es vorr\u00e4tig haben. Auf einer Insel f\u00fchrte uns ein netter Guna zu vier verschiedenen Tiendas, bevor wir ein paar Eier finden konnten. Nach vier Wochen bestand unser Vorrat an frischem Obst und Gem\u00fcse nur noch aus ein paar Kartoffeln, Karotten und Zwiebeln. Also nutzen wir jede Gelegenheit, um unsere Vorr\u00e4te aufzuf\u00fcllen. Manchmal paddelt ein Guna mit Obst und Gem\u00fcse, vor allem Bananen und Kochbananen, oder Fisch, Krabben und Hummer an unserem Boot vorbei, manchmal finden wir etwas im Laden. Die Auswahl ist sehr begrenzt. Ich freue mich, wenn ich eine Ananas oder eine Papaya bekomme und muss mich ansonsten mit Karotten, Kartoffeln und Kochbananen begn\u00fcgen. Ab und zu eine Tomate oder Gurke ist ein Genuss! Ein weiterer Leckerbissen ist das Guna-Brot (einfaches Wei\u00dfbrot) und das Zimtbrot. Beides sehr lecker! Wir konnten sie in Panaderias oder sogar direkt bei Guna-Familien kaufen, die auf einigen der Inseln allein leben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241105_202842995.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1073\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/signal-2024-11-10-10-34-56-274.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1124\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bananas fresh off the ulu<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241029_165644376-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1068\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241029_232031734-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1069\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241105_204310795-1.jpg?w=995\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1072\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Standing in front of the bakery<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241105_204734275-1-1.jpg?w=859\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1078\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Looking into the bakery \ud83d\ude42 <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241022_234500461-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1067\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241120_214348862-edit.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241120_214348862-edit.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241120_214348862-edit-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241120_214348862-edit-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241120_214348862-edit-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241120_214348862-edit-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241120_214348862-edit-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Bread shopping in a traditional Guna hut<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241120_220305805-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1071\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a lot of kids playing sports, especially volleyball, soccer and baseball.

The adults are curious and ask a lot of questions: our names, where we come from, what we do for a living and where we are going next. They always tell us that there will be a big celebration of the 100th anniversary of the revolution next February and invite us to come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\">Die Einheimischen sind sehr freundlich, vor allem die Kinder, die uns gerne umarmen oder die wenigen englischen W\u00f6rter, die sie kennen, \u00fcben. Die Erwachsenen sind neugierig und stellen viele Fragen: unsere Namen, woher wir kommen, was wir beruflich machen und wohin wir als n\u00e4chstes gehen. Wir h\u00f6ren immer wieder, dass es n\u00e4chsten Februar eine gro\u00dfe Feier zum 100.

Consequently, women do not wear molas and the chiefs have little authority. Television is common and there are no restriction on alcohol consumption<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will be interesing to see how the Guna will be able to maintain their lifestyle and their economic independence from Panama. So far they regulate tourism on their islands and do not allow development by outside investors. Therfore there are no big hotel complexes teeming with jetskis and the likes. All there is are a few basic hotels, beach bars with beach volley ball courts, some small charter boats offering single or mult-day trips and cruisers. We read about cruise ships coming to San Blas but have not seen any yet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7 wp-block-paragraph\">Neben den sehr traditionellen Gemeinden gibt es einige wenige Inseln, die beschlossen haben, die traditionelle Lebensweise der Guna aufzugeben. So tragen die Frauen keine Molas und die H\u00e4uptlinge haben nur wenig Autorit\u00e4t. Das Fernsehen ist weit verbreitet und es gibt keine Einschr\u00e4nkungen f\u00fcr den Alkoholkonsum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8 wp-block-paragraph\">Es wird interessant sein zu sehen, wie die Guna ihren Lebensstil und ihre wirtschaftliche Unabh\u00e4ngigkeit von Panama aufrechterhalten k\u00f6nnen. Bislang regeln sie den Tourismus auf ihren Inseln und lassen keine Erschlie\u00dfung durch externe Investoren zu. Daher gibt es keine gro\u00dfen Hotelkomplexe, in denen es von Jetskis und dergleichen wimmelt. Alles, was es gibt, sind ein paar einfache Hotels, Strandbars mit Beachvolleyballpl\u00e4tzen, einige kleine Charterboote, die ein- oder mehrt\u00e4gige Ausfl\u00fcge anbieten, und Segelboote. Wir haben gelesen, dass Kreuzfahrtschiffe nach San Blas kommen, haben aber noch keine gesehen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241111_225441456.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241111_225441456.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241111_225441456-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241111_225441456-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241111_225441456-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241111_225441456-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241111_225441456-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241111_230513733.night_.jpg?w=768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241111_230513733.night_.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241111_230513733.night_-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241111_230513733.night_-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241111_230513733.night_-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241111_230513733.night_-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_220940610.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_220940610.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_220940610-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_220940610-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_220940610-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_220940610-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_220940610-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_235718929.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_235718929.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_235718929-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_235718929-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_235718929-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_235718929-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sailingmakaan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pxl_20241021_235718929-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During our time here in Guna Yala we visit several Guna villages on different islands.
