throughout the country. Here, you'll find a range of handmade goods from baskets made
in Emberá villages to molas from Kuna Yala.
A number of shopping malls, some quite high end, highlight the increasing love of
Americana in Panama. Consumerism aside, these air-conditioned spots can be a good
place to escape the heat.
