Curious Fact
The group of mountains gets their name from story of Flor del Aire (Flower of the Air) who was the daughter of Urraca, the most successful Chief and leader of one of the Guaymi (Ngäbe) tribes, of the sun-kissed mountains surrounding the crater. While the tribes were fighting against the Conquistadores. It was her misfortune to fall in love with one of the Spanish soldiers.
Yavari, one of the strongest fighters of her tribe, vied for her affection. When she did not return his love, in despair, he jumped to his death from a mountain top before the Princess’ eyes. In sorrow, Princess Flor del Aire left her home and never saw the Spaniard again. She crossed mountains and valleys bitterly weeping over her fate. Above the beaches of the Caribbean, she fell dead looking back at the beloved mountains where she had been born. The mountains were so touched by this sad love story they decided to form the shape of the Princess
