The premontane rainforest of the PEMASKY (Project for the Study and Management of Wilderness Areas of Kuna Yala) located at Nusagandi in the eastern foothills of Panama has been rated as one of the top ten in the world by Smithsonian scientists in terms of flora and fauna.

Leave Panama City early in the morning, traveling in a 4WD vehicle to Nusagandi mountain range (rough, muddy roads). Pemasky Nature Park is located in the Kuna Yala Indian Reserve, which borders the province of Panama. The Kuna General Congress created this reserve to protects "back doors" from the creeping deforestation caused by the Pan American Highway and adjacent roads. With the help of the McArthur foundation and the World Wildlife Fund, the Kuna people built a rustic wooden lodge that is basic and clean, with hostel-style dormitories, bunk beds and separate toilets and shower facilities.

In the afternoon, hike with the local guide through one of the beautiful kuna trails, where you can observe different birds as: speckled antshrike, the black-headed antthrush and the black-crowned antpitta among others. This area is famous among Audubon birdwatchers and nature lovers since its forest is connected directly to the jungles of Darien through the mountain range, offering outstanding opportunity to view many species of flora and fauna, including beautiful waterfalls.
