The Chocao of Darién is a dessert that the Panamanian black population, especially from the province of Darién, enjoys very much.

The Province of Darien is inhabited by the Emberá Wounaan and Guna indigenous tribes, who preserve their same traditions from thousands of years ago.

One of the culinary delights of Darién, and that is commonly prepared, is the seafood guacho, a type of risotto. This dish is perfect for the time of Lent, or to enjoy the flavors of the sea anytime.
