Darien National Park

Darien National Park

Darien National Park is located in the eastern part of Panama's Darien Province, bordering Colombia, serving as a bridge connecting South America and North America. The park spans 597,000 hectares and offers an exceptionally diverse landscape — beaches, rocky coasts, mangroves, swamps and wetlands, as well as tropical rainforests on the ground, home to a variety of exotic wild plants.

The Darien forest boasts one of the most ecologically diverse ecosystems in the tropical Americas, and has remained largely undisturbed to date. The beaches and rocky coasts alone are enough to allow visitors to fully enjoy the sea breeze, crashing waves, and the vast expanse of ocean; stepping into the park’s tropical rainforest, you can not only admire the beauty of nature but also observe a wealth of precious wildlife.

Darien National Park is home to a large population of wildlife, with many species rarely seen anywhere else in the world, especially some endangered animals such as jaguars, red howler monkeys, tapirs, Central American caimans, American crocodiles, and capybaras. In addition, there are also bush dogs, large anteaters, ocelots, margays, night monkeys, howler monkeys, and brown-headed spider monkeys.
