The Journey of the Grafs to the South Pacific 2021
“Guna Yala” is the indigenous name for the area the Spanish called “Golfo de San Blas,” an archipelago that borders the northern Panamanian mainland and the Caribbean Sea. This area has over 340 beautiful small islands, many sandy beaches, and significant stretches of underwater coral reefs. In the 1600s when the Guna people first encountered the Spanish, they were living on the mainland near what is now the Gulf of Urabá,Colombia. Conflicts with the Spanish pushed them northwest along the coast and through the jungle, and by the 1800s they had made their homes on islands near freshwater rivers that flow from what are now the mountains of northeast Panama.
