Darién ProvinceWhy Go?One of world’s richest biomes is the 5760-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 peo-ple maintain many of their traditional practices and retain generations-old knowledge of the rainforest. In a stroke of irony, much of the Darién has remained untouched because of its volatile reputation.
The road to Yaviza – the most accessible part of the province – has scenes of habitat destruction. Cruising the waterways and hiking trails are the only ways to explore the slow-paced interior Darién and the Pacific coast, where Emberá, Wounaan and African-Darienita cultures coexist.
The region’s issues are complex. Police checkpoints are frequent because of narcotrafficking. The Darién is not for everyone, but with careful planning and the right destina-tions, it offers opportunities for intrepid travelers to dis-cover something truly wild.
When to Go ¨Dec–Mar The premium months for sportfishing in the
Pacific.
¨Dec–mid-Apr The best time to visit, with drier trails and easier and more reliable transport connections.
¨Oct–Feb Marine turtle hatching on the Pacific coast.
