Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Camaroncito is on the Central Caribbean Coast of Panama, locally called Costa Abajo de Colon. You can get to us in just 3 hours by driving north one hour to cross the new Atlantic Bridge, then west one hour to our boat dock near Miguel de la Borda. From there it is a 45 minute boat tour along the Caribbean coast to reach Camaroncito EcoResort & Beach. We also offer pickup and dropoff from Tocumen International Airport (PTY), but if your flight arrives after 11am, or leaves before 4pm, it is best for you to arrange an extra day to stay in Panama City. Our boat cannot travel at night.

You can also splurge and take a helicopter to us, enjoying a Pacific to Atlantic tour over the Panama Canal. We give much more detail here: www.camaroncito.net/getting-here
