West of Panama City the Interamericana runs along a narrow plain squeezed between the Pacific and the slopes of the Cordillera Central. The landscape becomes noticeably more arid as you travel west - deforestation and El Nino have made the crescent formed by the coastal plains of Cocle and Herrera provinces the driest region in Panama, and the sugar-cane fields depend on irrigation water from the rivers that run down from the mountains to the north. At the border of Cocle province, 23km beyond Aguadulce and 213km from Panama City, the road forks at Divisa: the Interamericana continues west to Santiago, the capital of Veraguas Province, while another road turns south into the Peninsula de Azuero.
