Santa Catalina and Azuero Penninsula

1 year ago
Hi;
My husband and I have returned from our first scouting mission to Panama incredibly enthusiastic about our experience and yearning to visit again... immediately! We spent 3 weeks visiting Panama City, Bocas, Boquete, and Boca Chica. We realized that we barely skimmed the surface of Panama's magic! Because time was limited, we thought best to explore a small region (after flying from P City to Bocas). We are really yearning to visit Santa Catalina (especially), the Azuero Peninsula, and Puerto Armuelles on our next trip. I cannot realistically go until fall (Sept) or next January. Can Coiba, and swimming beaches still be enjoyed in the fall (giving us a realistic perspective on living there during the rainy season) or should we just wait until winter? If anyone lives in Santa Catalina and would like to private message me to talk more about the community life there, I would be very eager to correspond. The friendliness of Boquete was such a draw, still, we are avid swimmers and want to be near rainforest as well as year round swimming. Thank you for reading this!
