Isla Grande Vacations

Panama City, the capital of Panama, is 45 miles (72 kilometers) to the south of Isla Grande.

Savvy travelers often use Isla Grande as a base for further adventures. This popular region has been blessed with numerous interesting cities, attractions and landscapes. Santa Isabel, 25 miles (40 kilometers) to the west, and Colon, 30 miles (48 kilometers) to the northeast of Isla Grande are also worth visiting should you have the time.

Stop by Panama's popular traditional villages, it's an excellent way to get to know the region's fascinating history.

The area around Isla Grande offers loads of great ways to enjoy the great outdoors. So why not join one of the many zip-lining and mountain biking experiences on offer here. Visitors who like to go beyond the usual sights will love the region's guided nature walks.

Be sure to take your tastebuds on a tour through the culinary traditions of Panama. Rice and plantains are frequently used in this region. All-time favorite menu items include tamales (corn dough rolls) and corvina (baked fish), but there are many other mouthwatering options to sample. Panama dishes such as raspados (ice topped with sweet syrup) are also a good thing to try. Ask for a glass of refreshing Balboa. This brand of beer is popular among those who live here. Resbaladera (chilled barley and rice drink) is a good option to ask for no matter what time it is.

As your holiday here concludes, you'll be sure to bid the region a teary "Adiós"
