Portobelo & San Lorenzo Forts
These magnificent examples of 17th and 18th C military architecture form part of the defense system built by the Spanish to protect transatlantic trade.
Darien National Park
The park contains an exceptional variety of habitats—sandy beaches, rocky coasts, mangroves, swamps, and lowland and upland tropical forests containing remarkable wildlife. Two Indian tribes live in the park.
La Amistad National Park
