About Sarigua
Panama's most unusual national park, Sarigua protects a semi-arid landscape on the Gulf of Parita formed by centuries of deforestation and soil salinization. The 8,000 ha park is also one of Panama's most important archaeological sites, with human settlement evidence dating back 11,000 years — the oldest known in the isthmus.
