Playa Muerto, Panama
Playa Muerto is a small village located in the south east of Panama, it is part of the beautiful Darien National Park. The village is home to the people of the Embera Indian tribe, who are believed to have moved to the area during the 16th century. The population has been rapidly declining though, the remoteness of the place means the locals have very few possibilities to earn money and survive in the village. This same remoteness also allowed the area to preserve its uniqueness, making it into an almost untouched paradise.

Fort San Lorenzo is located on a cliff at the entrance to the Changres river. The fort has a rich cultural history, as one of the oldest Spanish forts in America. It dates back to the 16th Century and in 1980 became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cruisers are recommended to book a tour to get the most out of visiting the fort.

Colón, PanamaDisembarkment
Colón is located in Limon Bay, at the Atlantic entrance to the Panama Canal and is traditionally referred to as “Panama’s second city”. On the decline since the 1960’s due to politically instigated riots and Panama’s subsequent military dictatorships, Colón has undergone an impressive restoration and renovation project since 2014. Now is an exciting time to visit the city as its brand new facelift has brought positivity and hope back to locals. Historic buildings and monuments, along with public parks and other infrastructure are the focus of #RenovationColon.
