Cronache di Golfito
Golfito was founded in 1939 by the United Fruit Company as a strategic port for exporting bananas. The city's architecture reflects its colonial past, with a mix of neo-colonial and tropical styles evident in its historic buildings. Despite its humble beginnings, Golfito has evolved into a thriving town with a distinct Afro-Caribbean cultural identity, influenced by the African and Jamaican immigrants who arrived during the banana boom. Today, Golfito is a fishing village turned ecotourism hub, with a growing arts scene and a strong focus on environmental conservation.
