Portobelo is located in the province of Colon, district of Portobelo, 2 hours from Panama City, which outstands its beautiful beaches on the Caribbean side and, of course, its formidable background history that still stands in its monumental military architecture. This town was popular back in time due to the famous fairs of Portobelo, where merchants from all over the world reached down to trade and exchange goods and articles using the famous cobblestone road known as Camino Real & Camino de Cruces. Furthermore, the Spanish conquerors used these routes to transport gold, silver, and treasures from Peru and Ecuador to Europe, leading to no fewer than seven raids by pirates and buccaneers on this town.
FLOW OF THE TOUR.
We depart from the pick-up point location at 7:00 am, taking the Motta expressway to reach Sabanitas Colon at around 8:00 am. From there to Portobello is a 45-min ride. As we reach Portobello Town, we make arrangements with the restaurant where we'll have lunch. We do our historical tour around the fortresses and the colonial buildings (2 hours). After this, we jump back into the vehicle and take a 10-minute ride to reach our restaurant to have lunch and enjoy its amenities on their beautiful beach. Here we will stay the rest of the afternoon having a nice swim in the clear water and white sand. Around 4:30 pm, we should be moving back to your agreed drop-off location where the tour ends.
