Aside from the very famous Panama Canal, Bocas del Toro and all the other tourist attractions you know in Panama, there’s still one needed to be recognized—the Azuero Peninsula. One great thing about the country of Panama is that it has all the stuffs needed to suit everyone’s taste from all walks of life.
The Cultural Heartland of Panama
Azuero peninsula long holds the name of being the cradle of traditional customs and folklores in Panama, probably due to its historical importance. This region was among the first parts in Panama to be inhabited by settlers about 10,000 years ago. Moreover, the northern part of the region was first cultivated even before the Spaniards came in the area.
Azuero Peninsula has two seasons- wet and dry. But the only difference from the other Panamanian regions, it has a dryer climate very suitable for beach activities which it is known for. The area has endless beach walks and coasts; in fact, the western part of which is among the favorite sunset viewing areas in the world. Surely, you’ll not just love the view and the landscape of Azuero, because it also hosts over 40 of celebrated festivals and folklore events every year. Imagine having that number of celebrations in a year! You’ll definitely love and embrace the traditional customs in Panama through the Azuero Peninsula.
Actually, the area is divided into two regions: the Eastern and Western Azuero. In Eastern Azuero Peninsula, baseball is a very famous activity and is also the center of attraction during their carnival. Here you can also find the town of Pedasi, a Spanish colonial town known for its plazas and creatively painted homes. On the other hand, the Western Azuero Peninsula boasts not only its sunset view, but also farming, cattle ranching and of course, beaches. The Western area is just opening up for development. If you prefer living in a developed area surrounded by meny happy and friendly people, the Eastern side has it all for you. But if you like a quiet area far from the noise of plenty of people, you’re suited for the Western side.
The hospitality of the people of Azuero will definitely keep you coming back. Anyway, the place alone—along with its pristine, long beaches, wonderful landscape, traditional festivals and first class amenities are enough to place Azuero Peninsula on your list for a perfect vacation and retirement refuge.
