Portobelo Fort Tour

Travel to the incredible Spanish colonial forts of Portobelo and San Lorenzo with this day trip from Panama City.

Discover the natural beauty of Panama and learn about the huge importance of the canal for world trade and shipping with this fun-filled and fact-packed adventure. Get to know the main historic references on the Atlantic side of Panama, and enjoy a day out in two fascinating places.

Drive out to the National Park and the San Lorenzo Protected Area, where early Europeans constructed huge forts. These Caribbean fortifications were recognised by Unesco as a magnificent example of 17th and 18th-century military architecture, built by the Spanish to protect transatlantic trade. Now the old colonial guns lie abandoned, pointing out over the calm waters of the ocean, and moss grows over the old buildings, making for an atmospheric visit ideal for any fans of military history or beautiful buildings.
