Narganá & Corazón de Jesús
Narganá
Two island villages linked by a bridge. This is the most "modern" community in central Guna Yala, with a school, shops and a small airport.
Nargana and Corazón de Jesús are two islands joined by a footbridge. Government assimilation policies had a strong influence on them from the early twentieth century. Most buildings are concrete, and residents dress in a more modern way. This contrasts with the western villages, which keep traditional ways of life, and it offers insight into how Guna society has changed. Nearby are a small airport (Corazón de Jesús) and boat trips to the inland rivers. Isla Tigre, nearby, holds a traditional Guna festival every October. Few visitors come, and you can stay at a local guesthouse and travel on to the islands of the central and eastern region.
