Located on the Caribbean coast of Panama near the Costa Rican border, this unspoiled archipelago of nine big islands and many smaller ones creates an inland sea where the breezes are so tranquil the waves rarely exceed knee height. And because Panama is south of the hurricane zone, there is no \u201cseason.\u201d You can safely cruise here all year round.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1509398226042{margin-top: -130px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”3678″ img_size=”large” onclick=”custom_link” link=”http:\/\/cruising.camaramaritima.org.pa\/recreation\/cruising-the-azuero-peninsula\/”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
