Description
Start your day with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel in Panama City and enjoy a scenic drive along the Caribbean coast toward the historic town of Portobelo. Upon arrival, board a private boat and set out on a ride across the sparkling turquoise waters, taking in the lush coastline and marine views.
Your first stop will be at the stunning Venas Azules, a hidden gem where the sea takes on vivid shades of blue—perfect for photos and a refreshing swim. Afterward, head to a pristine beach to relax under the sun, unwind by the shore, and snorkel in crystal-clear waters filled with colorful fish and coral.
In the afternoon, step back in time as you explore the famous ruins of Portobelo. Once a bustling colonial port targeted by pirates like Sir Francis Drake and Henry Morgan, the town is now home to well-preserved fortresses and cannons that whisper stories of Panama’s rich history.
This full-day experience combines nature, relaxation, and history—a perfect getaway that lets you soak in the beauty of the Caribbean while discovering one of Panama’s most important colonial treasures.
