Darién

Rainforests

One of the wildest, most remote rainforests on Earth, and the cradle of the Emberá and Wounaan peoples.

Darién is the great frontier of the Americas, a place without roads where rivers are the highways. Emberá and Wounaan communities welcome travelers to their villages to share their way of life. It is travel in its most honest form.
