Following an early morning pick-up, we’ll head to the Portobelo to begin our exploration. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Portobelo served as a Spanish fortress and Caribbean port. Products such as spices, gold and silver coming from Peru and other Spanish colonies crossed the isthmus on the “Royal Path” to Portobello, where the treasure awaited ships going to Spain. Because of the riches stored in the Portobello Customs House, pirates attacked the town on various occasions; the best-known attack was by Henry Morgan. We will visit the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and colonial fortifications of San Geronimo and Santiago de la Gloria. We will have lunch in town and then will take a local boat to one of the beautiful tropical beaches that are close by. You will have time for relaxing, swimming and snorkeling in the beautiful Caribbean waters. In Portobello we will visit the Artisans local house.
