The road to Yaviza
photos by Eric Jackson  Kuna country is not just Kuna Yala. Among other places, it includes the Madungandi Comarca, whose headquarters is near the Bayano Bridge.  Are your papers in order? A border cop in Cañazas, where Darien begins, scrutinizes the list of people on the bus.  Time to pull over for a cattle stampede on the road.  The modified Embera-style meeting house at the Fundacion Pro Niños del Darien agro-ecological education center.  The meeting center from the inside. In traditional Embera architecture, a ladder is a tree trunk with notches.  The most populous parts of Panama don't have many earthquakes and those tend to be light.

On the road again, near Meteti.  They have ALMOST finished paving the road to Yaviza, but there's a stretch just past Meteti that's not yet done and in a few other places along the way the pavement has broken up.  Despite rough spots, you can get there from here without a four-wheel drive.  Lunch at a Yaviza fonda.  The road ends here. Transportation in the rest of the Darien is by boats, aircraft or jungle trails. Also
