The nearby
Río La Villa
, a secluded river just outside of town, is ideal for swimming
and very popular on weekends. To get there, take a right off the main road at the San
Juan gas station. Continue for 750m until you pass over a metal bridge, then turn right in-
to the gravel lot.
Above the pharmacy on the main road,
Pensión Lorena
(
995-4181; d US$25;
)
has spartan rooms with cold-water showers; it'll do in a pinch. The attached restaurant
also serves up hot meals, but don't expect anything more than Panamanian staples.
Buses run between Macaracas and Chitré (US$2.50, one hour, hourly), and Macaracas
and Tonosí (US$3, one hour, hourly) from 7am to 4pm.
