Veraguas Province
Ride a Wave
With some of the biggest breaks in Central America, Santa Catalina surfing is deliriously
good. Big tubes and long rides attract the experts (especially December through April);
beginners have their own sandy-bottom spot.
Underwater Wonders
Pure delight for divers and snorkelers, Parque Nacional Coiba hosts amazing biod-
iversity. It's out of the way, but well worth a visit.
Country Roads
Brave the winding lanes to the rugged and relatively undiscovered landscapes of the
highlands. The village of Santa Fé makes an ideal base for waterfall hikes with swim-
ming holes, river tubing and horseback riding.
