LA PALMA |
|
With a spectacular setting south of the Darién Highway overlooking the Golfo de San Miguel - where the silt-laden waters of the Río Tuira flow into the Pacific Ocean with rugged, densely forested mountains rising on all sides -

is the capital of Darién province, a lively commercial and administrative centre despite its isolation.

Comarca Emberá Sambú
