Veraguas Province
A ceramic workshop and artisan market, this place sells wood carvings and baskets made by the Emberá and Wounaan peoples of the Darién, woven purses and soapstone figurines made by local Ngöbe-Buglé people, and masks from the town of Parita. There’s also a good selection of pots and sculptures available for purchase, some of which are made on site.
Ceramica La Peña is on the south side of the Interamericana, 8km west of Santiago, just before the turnoff to the town of La Peña.
