We are a group of twelve women who are working together to help improve our families´ economic life. We are part of a proud community called Nuevo Caimitillo  in the Chagres National Park in Panama. This park is visited by local and international tourists who come to see the Emberá Indigenous communities as well as the biodiversity of the park. 

Since, we, the peasants and farmers who also contribute to the park, do not have any kind of tourism activities to offer our visitors; we took the initiative of opening a Gift Shop besides the Park Information Center. After getting training on how to start a small sustainable business, organized by USAID; we decided to get together and started our own business with the possibility of expanding our goals to ecotourism activities. 


Thanks to the National Environment Authority (ANAM) and USAID, we have made this dream become a reality. If you are coming to the Chagres National Park, please stop by in our gift shop and say hi to the twelve motivated women. We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
