Transportation

[edit]

In 2021, the Panamanian Ministry of Public Works started a project to connect the community by road to Yaviza. As of late 2025, a bridge had been constructed over the Chucunaque River, and paving was in progress.[3][4]

If the road is completed, this will be the first community connected to the North American road network since Whatì, Northwest Territories in 2021.
