Madugandí, Indigenous comarca in Chepo District, Panama

Madugandí extends across 2,075 square kilometers of varied terrain, including forests and waterways near the Bayano River in eastern Panama Province.

The territory received official recognition as an indigenous comarca through Law 24 enacted on January 12, 1996, establishing administrative autonomy for local communities.

The twelve communities within Madugandí maintain Guna traditions through their governance systems, agricultural practices, and social structures.

The population of 4,271 residents spreads across settlements including Akua Yala, Ibedí, Pintupu, Icandí, and Piria, connected by local transportation networks.

The comarca operates with a density of 2.1 inhabitants per square kilometer, preserving large natural spaces for traditional land management methods.
