The Darien Jungle is a part of Darien National Park, the largest national park in Panama and a world heritage site since 1981. Forming a natural border between Panama and Colombia, the jungle is home to thousands of species of birds, such as the rare harpy eagle, as well as tapir and other exotic land animals. Although it is home to the Embera, Kuna and Wounaan indigenous tribes, the Darien Jungle is one of the wildest places remaining in Central America, and contains natural wonders and exotic treasures for the adventurous traveler.
