Tropical rainforest and deserted beaches
Darién is the most remote and least populated province of Panama. The total province covers 16000 km2 and consists mainly of rainforest, large rivers, imposing waterfalls, mangroves, deserted beaches and rocky coast. The PanamaNian highway - which runs from Mexico in the north to Chile in the south - stops in this rugged area, which forms a natural border between Panama and Colombia. Darién National Park, which can only be reached by boat or plane from the town of Yaviza, has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since the 1980s. Because the park is so difficult to pass, it is still very pure and an ideal place for nature lovers. Visiting the Darién is an adventure, where you will definitely have to forgo a bit. Only for the truly adventurous traveller.
