The Kunas and their vibrant molas

The best way to get to know the Kunas is to take a trip to their district, a marine paradise in the Caribbean coast an hour flight away from Panama city. One can also access the community of Cartí by road. Once in Kuna territory, there are dozens of islands to chose from, each one of them with beautiful beaches full of white sand and intense green waters surrounded by palm trees. Enjoy the delicacies of the Caribbean environment of Kuna Yala while you admire the expressions of their ancestral culture, among them the canes carved in wood, called nuchus, their dancing to the tune of the pentatonic flutes and the famous molas, made with vibrant colors and magistral designs. If you cannot go to Kuna Yala, you could admire the molas and how they make them in the Kuna craftsmanship stands in the city of Panama.
