From Panama to Colombia

civilization, enticing us to skyscraper-watching, shopping and fast food. One attraction was also a visit to the Panama Canal which connects the Atlantic with the Pacific. After that our trip started in the direction of South America. A 4-day boat trip took us into one of the most beautiful paradises in the world, the islands of San Blas. Hundreds of small islands lining here the seascape and the clear blue water is more than perfect for snorkeling and swimming. We stayed overnight in small villages of the Kuna people, the indigenous inhabitants of these islands. Warmly they cooked us seafood and told us about the history of their people. Ultimately, the border crossing to Colombia was in turn connected with a lot of strains, so checked a drug search dog each bag, each backpack had to be completely emptied before an officer and the passport was thoroughly tested by another officer in his small office with salsa music in the background. Hello South America, hello Colombia!
