Puerto Piña

Puerto Piña is a town in Darién Province, Panama with a population of about 700. This small coastal community is located near the border with Colombia. It is the home for a tourism consortium named "Tropi" by the locals, which forms the only business of the village. The remainder of the economy consists of fishing and subsistence farming.[1] The small town lies beside the Bahía Piña, a narrow bay between two promontories that is frequented by humpback whales and bottlenose dolphins.[2]

The town is served by Bahía Piña Airport, which has Air Panama flights to Panama City.
