Burba Travels – the soul of Panama
Official local DMC & tour operator in Panama City, with our own transport and guides.
What does “burba” mean?
The word burba comes from the language of the Guna people of the San Blas Islands and means roughly soul or spirit.
In Guna belief, everything has an invisible double – people, animals, rivers, even houses. That double is the burba.
That is what we want to show you: not just the sights of Panama, but its soul – the wildlife of the rainforest, its indigenous communities and the calm of the islands.
