Portobelo National Park

Portobelo National Park is located in the southeast of the country, on the Caribbean side. Coral reefs cover thousands of square miles and are home to diverse underwater life. Moray eels, butterflyfish, damselfish, and trumpet fish, to name a few, are among the 50 coral varieties and over 250 fish species found within the reef. Because this national park is close to Panama City, the capital, visitors will head right to the ocean for a dive. The place is attractive because of the abundant marine life and several plane wreckage and shipwrecks to explore. The seas are incredibly pure, and the coral reefs are abundant.

Portobelo National Park has white sand beaches, clean water, lagoons, mangrove swamps, and abundant coral reefs near the Panama Canal.

After a day of diving and exploring the underwater world, there are lush mangrove forests and white sand beaches to relax on. From July to December, when visibility is optimum and the sea is calmer, is the best time to come.
