Transportation

In 2021, the Panamanian Ministry of Public Works started a project to connect the community by road to Yaviza. As of late 2025, a bridge had been constructed over the Chucunaque River, and paving was in progress.

If the road is completed, this will be the first community connected to the North American road network since Whatì, Northwest Territories in 2021.
