TIME : 2016/2/18 16:02:53

Master mask maker Carlos Ivan de Leon makes the most elaborate and frightening masks in Panama at his house near Calle Segundo Villareal. He specializes in devil masks for the famous baile de los diablos sucios (dance of the dirty devils).

Masks are sold to professional dancers or international collectors. Several are on display at the ATP office. Look for the house with a black front door and a sign featuring his family name (De Leon) nearby. Carlos speaks Spanish only.
