Darién Province

One of the world’s richest biomes is the 5790-sq-km Parque Nacional Darién, where the primeval meets the present with scenery nearly unaltered from one million years ago. Even today in the Darién, the Emberá and Wounaan people maintain many of their traditional practices and retain generations-old knowledge of the rainforest. Much of the Darién has remained untouched because of its volatile reputation.
