The typical dress of Panama is for the woman LA POLLERA..and for the men....EL MONTUNO.....La pollera is made by hand and have to types..luxury and work..the pollera of work is simple and consist in two pieces one white and other red or blue with Little flowers stamped....in the luxury consist in red or blue ribbons around the dress with ornaments in gold...many of them.....this particular pollera cost with ornaments and jewelry around 3000 until 10000 dollars, I have a cousin that made that polleras and rent that by day.....the dress of men is a black pant with white shirt and a hat ...sombrero pintado..hat could be all with or with rivets black.....
our national flower is one orchid....LA FLOR DEL ESPIRITU SANTO...our national dance is EL TAMBORITO...
PANAMA means in our culture, abundance of butterflies,abundance of fishes,abundance of trees..in our native tradition....
we have three tribes of indians from Panama,,the kunas..they made MOLAS..tipical dress fro womans that is made by hand,,,they living in the san blas region..at north east of panama...the CHOCOES..living at sur of Panama...in the /darien zone..and the GUAYMIES..living in the central nd west resgion of Panama..all of them have his own caracters....and costumes..also exist etnies groups in Panama that live in other places but ..there is more important and our culture...

Our national female costume is called the Pollera, and is a derivation of a spanish dress, (only better). Women use at least 7 gold chains, each one with a special meaning. Until this day polleras are made by hand, in small towns of Panama.
