The Kuna Indians

Living true to their traditions brings a certain beauty to these islands with their thatched roof huts made from materials found in the nearby jungle

Most women continue to dress as their ancestors did –  their faces adorned with a black line painted from the forehead to the tip of their nose with a gold ring worn

through the septum They wear the traditional dress of wrap around skirts and blouses customised with their hand made “molas”. Another striking feature are the long strands of tiny colourful beads that are wrapped around their legs from ankle to        knee, along with printed headscarf and bold jewlery to complete the outfit.

The men are born fishermen! History tells that the Kunas flourished on the archipelago due to the abundance of fresh fish, lobster, shrimp, crab and octopus and that still appears to be true today with ‘the catch of the day’ making a regular apperance on your menu aboard Vaza Vezo.
