Geography

As Wargandí is a sub-provincial comarca (equivalent to a district rather than a province), it is not subdivided into districts, although it is subdivided into three communities, Mortí, Nurra and Wala. It is located in the Chucunaque River basin. It is a part of the Pinogana District of the Darien Province.

The community of Nurra serves as its de facto capital. It has no de jure capital.
