Dedicated Pacific Beach Area departure: private day excursion from Río Hato / Playa Blanca resorts up into El Valle de Antón for waterfalls, hot springs, and crater trails.

Regional Departure Requirement: Yes — Departs Río Hato / Playa Blanca Pacific beach resorts. Because Boquete, David (Chiriquí), and Bocas del Toro lie hundreds of kilometers west of the capital (a 1-hour domestic flight or 6-to-10-hour overland trip), this experience cannot be done as a day trip from Panama City. Plan your overnight base using our Where to Stay in Panama guide.
