Information about the Province of Los Santos:
The Peninsula Azuero is known to be the heartland of Panamanian country life and folklore.  Many of the residents in the countryside are ranchers and dairy farmer, who still use practices from many years ago. As you drive through the country side, you may see a milk truck picking up large cans of milk. Ranchers’ driving their cattle across the road is a common occurrence.  Please use caution as you drive.
 During your stay at Sereia do mar, you may see a neighbor taking his horses for a swim in the ocean.  It is a beautiful site. Your visit to the Azuero peninsula will feel like a trip back to a simpler time, when children are free to play and living life was easier.
As in many other countries, Carnival marks the beginning of lent. There is no better place to see the Panamanian Carnival than in Las Tablas city.
You can find different types of ceramic art at La Arena in Chitre city.  Many artists work in the back room of the shops.  They will be glad to personalize your purchases with your name or the year, or what ever you wish.
 Isla Iguana is located near to Pedasi city (8kms from the coast).  It is a natural island preserve protected by the government of Panama. It covers approximately 55 hectares and has 16 of the 21 species of corals located in the Pacific waters of Panama. As a result of the coral reef off shore, the island has white sand beaches.  Hike the trails and climb to the top of the light house for a view of the Pacific.
The best time of the year for diving at Isla Iguana, is from April to December. From January to March the waters are affected by strong northerly winds and upwelling currents coming out of the south from Peru. This is not to say you can’t dive here year round however conditions can change day to day during January to March.

Iguana Island is also home to approximately 5000 frigate birds. No services are located on the island so one needs to bring all their own food and water. Ask locals about the National park fee.
El Ciruelo Beach is just 20min by car far from Pedasi.  It is a natural port for boats.  Many of the local fishermen and fishing tour bouts use this port, as it is near to the Frailes Islands North and South.  These islands are rocks in the middle of the ocean with no beaches. You will find exceptional deep sea fishing in this area because the Continental plate drops 500ft to 800ft just 25 kms/13.5 miles offshore. There you can catch tuna, mahi mahi, Wahoo, Spanish macarel, amber jacks, sailfish etc,

The Achotines Laboratory is located near by El Ciruelo Beach.  At this laboratory, Tuna and other species of fish are raised and studied.  Tours of the facility are welcomed.
Whale watching time is from July to September.  The Humpback whales are migrating from South America to the warmer waters of the tropics.
You may see Whale sharks year round but they are further out to sea during the months of January to April.  Pods of Orcas are sometimes seen in this area year round.
Just a short ride from El Ciruelo beach you can hit the waves at. Playa Venado.  It is 5min down the road by car.  Surfers from all over the world come to ride the waves during the day and have a few beers at night. 
Isla Canas is a wildlife refuge just 20min from El Ciruelo by car and 5 min more in a pang boat to cross from town to the Island.   Sea turtles are here year round and very common during the months of September to October when they arrive in large numbers to lay their eggs at Isla Canas. Migratory birds from South America, Alaska (El Agallito beach) and turtle nesting on the Canas Island. 
1 hour from El Ciruelo Beach by car you can get into the Cambutal town, the best place to billfish around the azuero peninsula, and also another point of surf (rocks). The road is not in a good shape from Canas until Cambutal, we recommend 4x4 trucks.
