Isla Grande, Panama

< other lodging  |  start planning your trip  |  vacation packages >

A visit to the Spanish forts and ruins at Portobelo is reason enough to travel to Costa Arriba. The beach that is closest to it is Maria Chiquita, which has its own tourist center with facilities. Playa Langosta is located some miles ahead.

Isla Grande, a few minutes farther by car, is the largest of a series of islands in the area. Surrounded by coral reefs, it is ideal for diving, snorkeling and surfing. It features several hotels and excellent restaurants.

A five-minute cayuco (water taxi) boat ride gets you to the island.
Where once here, you can experience the popular tradition of the Congo drum. Congo drum playing generally takes place during carnival, in the month of February.
