Cool facts about the Wounaan nation in Panamá

Let’s take care of the identity of our town.

At Savimbo, we don’t speak for Indigenous Peoples — they are more than capable of representing themselves. But we are honored to work alongside many Indigenous friends and allies, and we share a deep appreciation for their cultures and the wisdom they bring to living in harmony with Nature.

Indigenous culture is a living expression of deep connection to land, resilience, and diversity. While words can inspire, sometimes photos say more — capturing moments of tradition, innovation, and the countless ways people adapt their lives to the rhythms of the Earth.

The Wounaan community is located in the southeast of Panamá. They are known for their beaded crafts in beads and their weaving with Chunga palm leaves.
