There are six different Indians Cultures in Panama and each one of them practices its very own typical ancestral customs.

Each province of Panama has a varied Folklore reflected through its dances, music and cuisine. In the deeply catholic provinces of Cocle, Herrera and Los Santos churches are found on the main town square (Plaza) as was the Spanish tradition. Nata, one of the oldest colonial cities, boasts the oldest church of the American Continent.

One of the yearly festive highlights is Carnival, celebrated throughout the country in the month of February.
