Finding Yourself in Gunayala, the San Blas Islands

Once you leave the city behind and arrive at the turquoise waters of San Blas, the rest

of the world begins to fade away. Suddenly, the horizon stretches endlessly in every

direction in all shades of blue.

Time here is completely different from the city time you’re used to. Here, there’s no rush, no noise, no routines, and no to-do lists. Instead, you’re moving at the pace of the waves, slowing down without even realizing it.

The islands are quiet and peaceful. Palm trees sway gently over the sand. The air is

salty, and you start to connect with nature. Especially when you’re barefoot, everything shifts; it’s as if time stops and forces you to be present, without even trying.

Swimming and floating in these crystal waters is so soothing that, for a moment, you might forget that the sun is intense and you didn’t put on extra sunscreen. Nothing seems more important than your current surroundings.

It’s not just about disconnecting from the city; it’s about dissolving into something

bigger; letting nature embrace you. And suddenly, you stop being a visitor and start to

be part of this place. You realize that nature isn’t something you stand in front of; it’s

something you belong to. That’s what happens when you find yourself in Gunayala.
