You might be free to wander around today, but Fuerte San Fernando wasn't always so welcoming! Learn the story behind this mighty stronghold and exactly what it was designed to defend.

Fuerte San Fernando is a great place to begin exploring Portobelo. This history-filled fortress comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Pencil in time for other sights like Blanca Beach, Isla Mamey, and San Felipe Church to fully experience what the area has to offer.

The jacuzzi in the room was terrible. Many, many times I tried but could not get it to work. Maintenance came multiple times, but they too had a hard time getting it to work.
