A roughly 35-kilometer-long, very white, wide, clean, and seldom-visited sandy beach surrounds Punta Chame. The extensive coastal landscape shapes the character of the place. With this focus, you can choose where to stay according to your interests before planning individual activities.

Beach and Activities in Punta Chame

Kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, and jet skiing are practiced in Punta Chame; motocross and skydiving are also among the activities on offer. The range extends from wind- and water-based sports to activities on land and in the air. If you want to plan a particular activity, check in advance whether it will be available at your preferred time.

There is also an artificial lake with a cable park for wakeboarding in the Punta Chame area. Before visiting, check whether the park will be operating and accessible at your preferred time. The Manglares de la Bahía de Chame protected area also includes sectors of Punta Chame. This means that the beach landscape and the protected mangrove area are distinct aspects of the place.

Other Perspectives on the Panamá Destination

In the Panamá destination, Sendero Espíritu del Bosque is located in Parque Nacional Soberanía. The trail is about 1.7 kilometers long and takes approximately one hour and 40 minutes to walk. In the humid tropical forest, you can hear birdsong and observe animals such as ñeques, although sightings are not guaranteed. As trail conditions and access regulations may change, check them before your visit.

For history enthusiasts, Panamá Viejo offers a different focus. The first permanent European settlement on the Pacific Ocean dates back to 1519. At the archaeological site, visitors can explore Catedral Primada Basílica Santa María la Antigua de Panamá and other historic ruins. The bell tower of Panamá Viejo offers a view of the Panama City skyline. In Casco Antiguo, cobblestone streets and historic buildings invite you to take a stroll. Paseo Esteban Huertas was built on the former city wall and offers views of the skyline and the bay.

At the Panama Canal, tours and activities explain its economic, cultural, and ecological impacts. It opened on August 15, 1914. Biomuseo explains how the formation of the land bridge of Panamá changed ocean currents and climate and enabled an unprecedented exchange of flora and fauna. Its eight galleries explore the subject in different ways: Panamarama presents Panamá’s ecosystems as a three-story projection; La red viviente features a 15-meter-high sculpture. Other topics include biodiversity, an aquarium, and the exchange of migrating animals.
