National Parks with a total area of 1,391,833 hectares
representing approximately 22% of the surface area of the
country. About 30%
of the country are still covered with jungle.

cultures: Kuna Indians from San Blas islands, Chocoe-Embera from
Darien jungles and Guaymies from Chiriqui high lands. All
