With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy everything that Portobelo, 18 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Blanca Beach, Mirador Perú and Fuerte San Fernando. Don’t miss Ancon either! Just 20 miles away, Gamboa Rainforest Resort, Soberania National Park and Culebra Cut are non-negotiable stops here.
