Of all the quick trips from Panama City, Panama, Isla Grande is my favorite. Isla Grande is 2 hours, instead of the 1 hour trip to the Royal Decameron, Playa Blanca, Coronado or Punta Barco. It also includes a long and bumpy ride down the last stretch of road into the parking lot at the marina, but I think it’s worth it.
You’ll find crisp, clean water, wonderful people and some great restaurants, bars, hotels and resorts. At Banana’s, you’ve got bargain style resort life with amenities that include kayaks, a small bar and a small and not so clean beach. But if you’re traveling on a budget, it’s a good place to stay that gives you access to Isla Grande and Portobelo.

In the province of Chiriqui, near the border with Costa Rica, are the highland forests of Volcan Baru National Park. They are home to Panama’s highest peak, an 11,300 foot high extinct volcano. The spectacular scenery in the village of Boquete includes rain forests, coffee farms, a river and some of the friendliest people anywhere.
Ascending nearly 3 and a half kilometers, from tropical torpor to mountain cool in an hour, you will feel exhilarated. At a moment like this it’s important to have plans for good lodging. You will be able to relish the remarkable change in the oxygen levels of the air you’re breathing and treasure being surrounded by beauty. Plan ahead so you can enjoy it.
