EXPERIENCE

Venas Azules is located in the Portobelo National Park in Colón. They are beautiful channels with crystal clear and turquoise waters surrounded by mangroves. Although it is on dry land, to arrive it is necessary to take a boat from the historic port of Portobelo, we will arrive after about 20 minutes of transfer.
Here you can find peace since waves do not arrive. 
You can swim, snorkel, float, or stand and enjoy your surroundings. 

After visiting the Venas Azules we head to the beautiful and unspoiled Playa Blanca, Playa Huerta, Playa Puerto Frances. We will enjoy lovely white-sand beach on a tranquil cove surrounded by dense wilderness. It boasts some of the least disturbed reefs between Colón and the Archipiélago de San Blas, and its sheltered waters offer better visibility than beaches closer to Portobelo. There’s a colorful reef in the center of the cove near the beach, as well as a second reef that sits in deeper waters about 100m offshore.

Starting from June 2021 the Panama authorities for the protection of the mangrove have declared the Venas Azules National Park a protected area. 
For this reason it will no longer be possible to swim and snorkel in this area, certainly we will pass by our boat to visit it. Instead we will stop and snorkel on the beautiful beaches of: Playa Blanca, Playa Huerta, Playa Puerto Frances, where together with our guide you will decide where to spend the day.
