Visit Las Tablas Panama Before It Becomes Busy

By Tyler Ramos


If you like the idea of vacationing somewhere quiet yet heavenly, visit Panama. There is no good reason the general tourist public has ignored towns like Las Tablas on the Azuero Peninsula, but they have. Make the most of quiet beaches and inexpensive touring while you still can. The hotel chains will be here before long.

Here visitors may notice that old-fashioned life continues. See people on horses getting around. Villagers continue to wear their hand-embroidered, colorful clothes. Many are made in the area by local artisans. Perhaps one reason it has not lost its old-fashioned edge is that tourists have yet to discover Panama.

Chitre and Los Santos are towns close to this centre. They show signs of more urban encroachment though also continue to host an old-fashioned contingent. The beautiful Pedasi provides another good place to fly to and book a fishing tour. The cooler, mountainous region of Nuerio is only twenty-five minutes from your location. Explore the lush habitat of monkeys and cool down next to a waterfall.

Sea sports are critical to the tourist economy and a huge draw for visitors. Try your hand at wind surfing in the sea. Isla Cana is well known to naturalists for its turtles: come and see them hatch. A boat trip to Isla Iguana is worthwhile for divers and bird watchers.

Las Tablas hosts a spring carnival. If you come at the wrong time for their event, there could be another one happening in the region soon. Though colorful and fun, these are also busy times when hotel rooms are scarce and more expensive than otherwise. Other cultural attractions include ornate cathedrals featuring stained glass windows. Also stop by Museo Herrera for a glimpse of pre-Colombian artifacts.

Panama City is a few hours away by car, but visitors do not need a huge city centre to find life. Las Tablas features all of the amenities visitors of every age could need. There are supermarkets, gaming, bars and discos, plus places to plug in your computer for internet connection charged at an hourly rate. Considered a safe country, hospitals are close. This should reassure even the most worried parent.

Keep the heat in mind. Finding a hotel with fans and air conditioning can be very important to your overall comfort. Pasada Del Mar, a beachfront bed and breakfast just ten miles from town. Only five rooms are established here so expect a peaceful break. Hotel La Luna is also on the beach. Their clean rooms have air conditioning, TV and the hotel provides a pool and internet. Friendly staff will give tour advice where needed. They also serve breakfast.

City hotels are another option. They situate visitors close to all modern conveniences, including shops with internet access charged per hour. Night life with music and gaming is also available. Do your souvenir shopping, eat local food or check out a place that serves a familiar and comforting dish: pizza.
