Panama's Azuero Peninsula
Azuero Peninsula
The Azuero is undisputedly the cultural heartland of this dynamic country, and one of the most engaging regions in Panama. It appears as though time has failed to penetrate the Spanish colonial towns of Parita and Pedasi, and visitors will delight in the master artisans still practicing ancient traditions in the homes of the Azuero. Watch as skilled hands sew the stunningly embroidered polleras, weave traditional headwear, craft fearsome devil masks, and fire delicate pottery with designs dating back thousands of years.
Reputed for its colorful festivals, isolated beaches and pristine surfing conditions, the Azuero is a refreshing retreat from the ordinary and a charming venture into Panama’s thick web of cultural and natural riches.
