Cocaine once reigned. But coffee is the king again in Colombia. And as many international tourists are making their way back to the more remote parts of this majestic South American country, the image of Juan Valdez, the “face” of the Colombia coffee grower, is who they want you to remember.

The Mola Museum is a must-visit while exploring Panama City. Tucked along a quiet side street in the historic Casco Viejo neighborhood, this intimate museum celebrates the extraordinary textile artistry of the Guna (Kuna) people.

The experience begins with a life-size video installation of a woman dressed in traditional Guna attire, offering a vivid introduction to the culture behind the art. From there, a series of rooms display stunning examples of molas, each accompanied by explanations of their symbolism and meaning. Inspired largely by the natural world around them, Guna artisans create vibrant, layered designs using a meticulous reverse-appliqué technique. Each piece, often composed of two intricately cut and stitched layers, can take anywhere from three days to a week to complete, with many desig
