Even if you try, you will not be able to skip the souvenir vendors who dot all the tourist destinations in Panama. Supported and accredited by the government of Panama, the exquisite La Reprosa has some high-grade handmade products made of metal, glass, mural, wood, fabric, terracotta and other natural materials such as palm leaves. The most popular items are the artefacts made of cocobolo, which is a Central American fragrant hardwood with a red tint. Besides, you can purchase gold, silver, pearl, semi-precious gemstone jewellery, organic shade grown single origin coffee, vanity pouches and sling bags made of cotton, wall piece fabrics, ties, pens and vases. What could also interest you is a 1.5-hour tour that costs $10 per person. For those keen on souvenirs, you get a goody bad at the end of the tour! This tour with a guide and a short film talks about Panama's ancient civilisations, cultural traditions, and natural treasures and how they are moulded into souvenirs here. Highly recommended are pots and bowls made of chunga palm, intricately woven with indigenous motifs and coloured with natural dyes.
