Panama: March 2024

---

We loved the captivating allure of Panama on our unforgettable journey. Embarking on an adventure that traverses lush rainforests, picturesque coastlines, and vibrant urban landscapes. Immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of cultures that blend seamlessly in this Central American gem.

We experienced everything the nature and people of Panama had to offer, while also opening our hearts and minds to the very real challenges faced by the charity organizations as they work to address disparities in their local areas. We were honored to dive deep into the charity work being done by the organizations we interacted with. 

Immersing ourselves in Panama's rich cultural tapestry involves embracing vibrant traditions, from the rhythmic beats of traditional folk music to the colorful festivities of Carnaval, all amidst the backdrop of its lush tropical landscapes, like the San Blas Islands.

Nestled within the pristine landscapes of the San Blas Islands, the Kuna Yala tribe thrives with their rich cultural heritage, exemplified by intricate handicrafts, traditional music, and a profound connection to the natural world that surrounds them.

Our journey deep into the Panamanian jungle led us to discover the remarkable world of the Emberá tribe. As we immersed ourselves in the dense wilderness, we felt the tribe's profound connection to their environment. Witnessing their intricate craftsmanship, spiritual rituals, and unwavering commitment to their cultural heritage left an indelible mark on us.
