The indigenous people of this area are called Ngobe Bugle. The women wear a colorful dress that they make themselves. Most live in the Comarca (Reservation) but many live in Boquete. They often come to Boquete to pick the coffee cherries during the Summer picking season. Since Panama has such high literacy, many of the Ngobe Bugle children attend school. They are beautiful and sweet people. Another indigenous tribe comes from Cuna (or Kuna) on the islands known as the San Blas. These people make the beautiful Molas
