Portobelo National Park Tours

A day trip from Panama City took us to the small town of Portobelo (established during the Spanish colonial period) in the Colón Province. We enjoyed some beautiful views from Fort San Lorenzo designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Portobelo Bay Panama still has some remnants of the old fort - note the 3 cannons still remaining. Rumor has it that Sir Francis Drake was buried in a lead coffin at sea in this bay ! No evidence was ever found
Yes, sloths really do hang upside down. We took guests snorkeling and this fellow was hanging in one of the trees on the beach! www.panamaroadrunner.com
Colorful costumes of the local indigenous peoples at the old Portobelo forts. The forts date back 500 years!
