The story

Festival del Camaron in Aguadulce

Festival del Camaron in Aguadulce celebrates shrimp, a significant product of this Cocle coastal town known nationally as the Tierra de la Sal for its artisanal salt production and coastal aquaculture along the Gulf of Parita.

Aguadulce was officially founded in 1848 as a parish district separating from Nata de los Caballeros, and it sits on flat coastal plains at the meeting point of Cocle, Herrera and Veraguas provinces, an area whose dry tropical climate and tidal flats made it naturally suited to sea-salt production.

The place changes

Aguadulce sits on flat coastal plains at the border of Cocle, Herrera and Veraguas provinces, an area whose salt flats and tidal coastline have historically supported both artisanal sea-salt production and coastal fishing and aquaculture, and the town is nationally recognized enough for its salt industry to host a dedicated Museo de la Sal y el Azucar

02

The mystery stays covered

A shrimp festival here draws on that same coastal working economy, the Gulf of Parita shoreline that made Aguadulce a salt town also supports shrimp fishing and farming
