About Portobelo
A UNESCO site on the Caribbean coast, 90 minutes north of Panama City. Portobelo was the transit point for 16th century Spanish silver. The ruined fortresses, the customs house, and the Black Christ church still stand. Afro-Caribbean Congo culture thrives in the village. Day trips pair it with Agua Clara Locks.
