Kuna de Wargandí

Kuna de Wargandí is an administrative territory of the Guna people in Darién, stretching across several indigenous communities along the region's rivers. Local authorities manage the area using both traditional and modern systems.

The territory was recognized in 2000 through legislation as a protected indigenous area for the Guna people. This recognition allowed the community to secure its autonomy and control over land and way of life.

The Guna people follow their own traditions and social customs throughout this territory. The way they organize their communities and daily life shapes how the region functions today.

The landscape is heavily forested and access is mainly by water routes and paths through dense vegetation. It is best to arrange a local guide and consider the rainy season and seasonal changes, as these significantly affect travel conditions.

The population is spread very thinly, which means vast forest areas remain largely untouched. Visitors encounter a landscape that has retained much of its original nature.
