Caribbean Gems: Privat tur til Portobelo og Mamey Island
Beskrivelse
Hvis du er interesseret i at fordybe dig i den fængslende kultur, der gjorde Portobelo befæstninger til en UNESCO World Heritage Site og dens paradisiske strande, så er denne tur det perfekte valg for dig. Portobelo var engang den handels hub i Amerikas og var en smeltepot af caribiske kulturer. Du vil også få at udforske et tropisk paradis, der kan prale af fantastiske strande og mangrover. Det krystalklare vand er perfekt til svømning og afslapning. Denne tur er den ideelle måde at tilbringe en dag væk fra byen og slappe af i den rolige skønhed af det caribiske paradis.

Rejseplan
Efter at have kørt i halvanden time fra byen, kan et besøg i Portobelo være en fascinerende kulturel oplevelse. Byens centrale plads har en majestætisk toldbygning, som er blevet omdannet til et museum, der levende viser historien om afrikanske mennesker, der ankom til disse kyster under den spanske kolonitid. Mange lokale er efterkommere af disse mennesker og repræsenterer den pulserende Congo-kultur, der trives i denne by. Congo-kulturen er officielt blevet anerkendt som en immateriell arv for menneskeheden.
Fuerte San Jerónimo, tæt på centrum af Portobelo, var den største fæstning, der nogensinde er bygget for at beskytte bugten. San Jerónimo er det mest komplette af Portobelos tilgængelige forter og giver det bedste besøg.
Casa Congo er et smukt sted med ni værelser fyldt med lokal identitet og kunst. Beliggende foran Portobelo Bay er dette offentlige, inkluderende rum bygget til at være vært for træningsworkshops, håndværksmæssig produktion og kunstnerisk ophøjelse. Besøgende kan opleve forskellige manifestationer af Congo-kunst og få en dybere forståelse af den rige spansk-koloniale og afrikanske historiske arv i Portobelo.
Museo de la Real Aduana de Portobelo, også kendt som Portobelo Royal Customs House Museum, er et fængslende historisk vartegn, der giver et indblik i byens blomstrende maritime historie. Museet har til huse i en bygning fra det 17. århundrede og udstiller byens betydelige engagement i global handel og dens bånd til Spanien og andre verdensregioner.

Thank you so much for your kind words about this great experience and for choosing Panamanian Adventures as your go-to tour company in Panama! We truly appreciate your support!
Aura was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend her. She was very knowledgeable of Panama overall and specifically provided a deep dive into the history and culture of Colon/Portobelo. I look forward to many more excursions with her.

The trip to Portobelo took us 2 hours and 30 minutes. The guide was enthousiastic, but his English was insufficient; he had simetimes to use google translate. We did not see the Casa Congo or the Royal Customs house museum. The boat trip to Mamey Island was a joke, waste of time.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. Portobelo is located approximately 2 to 2.5 hours from Panama City depending on traffic conditions, and this travel time is indicated as part of the tour experience. The journey allows visitors to explore one of Panama's most historically significant Caribbean regions. Regarding the sites visited, Casa Congo and the Royal Customs House Museum are included in our standard itinerary. On occasion, access to certain locations may be affected by operational schedules, special events, maintenance, or circumstances beyond our control. We regret if this was not communicated clearly during your tour. The published itinerary includes both attractions as part of the experience. We also appreciate your comments about the guide's English proficiency. While our guide was enthusiastic and committed to sharing the history and culture of Portobelo, we understand that clear communication is essential and will use your feedback to continue improving our service. As for Mamey Island, many travelers enjoy the boat ride and the opportunity to experience a less-developed Caribbean beach environment, although we recognize that every traveler has different expectations. We value all feedback, as it helps us improve and provide better experiences for future guests. We wish you the very best in your future travels.
Very recommended if you are interested in all sides of the Panama' s history, at the same time you can swim in cristal caribean water. Riggo was the best, hope to see You again☺️
Excellent tour of Portobelo and Colón with a guide from Rigo. Immaculate organization, deep knowledge of history and narrative with passion and humor. It made the experience pleasant, authentic and absolutely informative. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to actually get to know Panama. Rigo is not just a guide, he is a man who loves his country and conveys it with love, humor and professionalism.
The tour is personalized and Carlos our guide was commenting and answering what we were interested in. The journey that lasts about two and a half hours becomes pleasant and on the other hand once you leave the highway the road borders the sea with beautiful landscapes and later there are also mountains. It's a scenic route. With regard to Mamey Island you can access it through a small boat trip of about 15 minutes and the place is unspoilt , without great influx of people but with amenities such as chairs, tables , shade and obviously a dream landscape with palm trees and a warm and transparent sea. You can also snorkel if you wish. And at noon they bring you lunch, which is very rich. The whole experience is wonderful and having a guide like Carlos is of course a great plus.
Even with heavy rain in the morning and cloudy skies all day, Aura made it a very enjoyable day. Don't let clouds and some rain keep you from enjoying swimming in pleasant Caribbean waters.

There are tours and then there is rolling with Charlie! If you want to see Panama, take a tour. If you want to EXPERIENCE Panama, roll with Charlie! We left Panama City and took a scenic drive to Portobelo and learned the whole way and back! The sites were amazing! We stopped at a natural swimming spot, a private beach, ate great food and took awesome pics! It’s what you NEED to do if you’re doing anything at all in Panama!🇵🇦
We had a great adventure! Charlie L. has an incredible knowledge of Panamá, both its history and its contemporary reality. We asked many questions and he was always ready with an in-depth answers. This was especially important as we discussed the African and indigenous presence in Panamá, specifically Portobello. Much of this his-story is not in our schoolbooks. So we really appreciated learning more! In addition, my tío, who is 80 and born in LaBoca, CZ was with us. Charlie was attentive to his needs and also swapped stories of their experiences growing up on the Canal Zone, noting all the changes over the years. I very much appreciated Charlie’s care and generosity. And the beach! Lovely and relaxing, followed by a great lunch. This private tour with Charlie L was the definite highlight of our week in Panamá! Will definitely be back!
