the tiny island of Holandes Cayes, home to Guna Indians who have preserved their distinctive language, customs and culture with few outside influences. Here fishing is still done by canoe, and coconuts remain a source of milk. You’ll meet Guna women who create mola fabrics with brilliant images of fish, birds and jungle animals. Holandes Cayes is also a perfect setting for swimming, snorkeling or relaxing before your return to the ship for an onboard farewell dinner. Meals BLD
