Things to Do

At first glance, a new visitor to Puerto Armuelles may feel a bit lost. This town was once a port for the shipment of bananas from the surrounding plantations and a fishing village. There are not the obvious tourist sites, museums, and attractions you’d expect to see in a tourist town on the beach.

That’s what is so special about Puerto Armuelles, Panama:

It’s anything but your typical tourist town!
