Uaguinega Ecoresort is a private island that represents culture, comfort and peace. It is the ideal place for your honeymoon or for adventure tourism.
What is Uaguinega?
Uaguinega derives from the Kuna language, where Uagui means dolphin and Nega means house. Together, therefore, it means “The House of the Dolphin.” During certain times of the year you can catch a sight of dolphins, and with some you luck you might be able to admire them.
This ecotourism hotel is located in front of the Achutupu Island in the Kuna Yala Comarca¹. This private island is located at approximately 50 minute flight distance from Panama City, in the Republic of Panama.
