Chame District, Administrative district in Panamá Province, Panama
The district extends over 376 square kilometers of diverse terrain, from Pacific coastal areas to inland mountains in western Panama Province.
Founded in 1855, the district received its name from Cacique Chamè, a leader of the indigenous Nataes tribe who governed this territory.
The district celebrates the Patronal Festival of Santo Cristo de Chame with traditional dances, including the Tambor Chorrerano and Cumbia performances.
Located 76 kilometers from Panama City, Chame District contains eleven administrative subdivisions and maintains road connections to major urban centers.
