The Caribbean Snorkeling Adventure takes participants to the province of Colon, approximately an hour and a half from Panama City. The group departs at 7:30 a.m. and arrives in Portobelo by 9:00 a.m. From Portobelo, a brief boat ride across the bay leads to the snorkeling site. Playa Huerta, a private white-sand beach with clear waters, is surrounded by jungle and diverse wildlife, providing ample opportunity for sunbathing and relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second snorkeling location in the Caribbean Snorkeling Adventure is a reef wall near the shore. More experienced snorkelers can follow the wall to explore the underwater environment, which is rich in tropical fish. The waters around Portobelo are linked to historical narratives involving conquistadors and pirates, including figures like Captain Morgan and Sir Francis Drake, who navigated through the Bay of Portobelo. For those holding certification, there is another tour option to go scuba diving in Portobelo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Caribbean Snorkeling Adventure includes a visit to the town of Portobelo, which translates to \u00abbeautiful port.\u00bb Throughout the Spanish conquista era, it served as a key transportation point for treasures from Peru to Spain. Along with the Fort of San Lorenzo, this port was frequently targeted by privateers and pirates, leading to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Portobelo is a tranquil town situated by the Caribbean Sea, recognized for its vibrant houses. It is also known for the Black Christ of Portobelo, celebrated annually on October 21st. Visitors can explore the church and purchase souvenirs if desired. Additionally, there is an opportunity to visit the restored old customs house and the local museum. The excursion includes a stop in Portobelo for lunch, which is not included in the tour price. The local cuisine offers a range of dishes, including octopus in coconut curry, coconut rice, fried plantains, fresh fish, crab, and various seafood options. After lunch, the group will return to Panama City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Panama&#8217;s Caribbean coast offers a unique snorkeling experience.
