Join Valerie Pringle as she discovers the hidden treasures of Panama. In this episode, Valerie finds herself immersed in the diversity of a country known mostly for the Big Ditch. Of course, the Panama Canal is something that has to be seen, and Valerie manages to get an up-close look at this engineering marvel. But Panama is also known for its natural beauty and Valerie experiences a canopy tour of the jungle from an unusual vantage point: a zip line. One of the highlights of this trip is a visit to the Achatupu Kuna village on the San Blas Islands. Among the warm and gracious people of the village, Valerie explores her inner Kuna woman.
