Holidays in La Pena

When chucking a sickie becomes your new norm, it's time to abandon the daily grind and say hello to La Pena!

The prominent city of Panama City is within reach of La Pena. You'll find this bustling centre 190 kilometres to the northeast.

Break out on a journey to some nearby natural sights. 45 kilometres out of La Pena, El Salto Waterfall is just waiting to be explored. Alto de Piedra Waterfall, 40 kilometres away, is another fabulous spot to kick back and relax.

If you're contemplating venturing outwards, journey 14 kilometres southeast to Santiago. It's here you'll come across Plaza Banconal and Catedral of Santiago Apostol. We also recommend stopping by Atalaya, 20 kilometres to the southeast, for Escuela Normal Juan Demostenes Arosemena and Artisan Market.

Keen to visit Town Square, Orchid House and Catholic Church of Santa Fe? Head over to Santa Fe, 35 kilometres to the north, and set up base. These attractions, as well as Mercado and Cerro Tute, are all close by.

To truly experience a place is to sample its food and drink, so get set to crunch, munch, slurp and sip your way around Panama. The only thing you need to take with you is a decent appetite!

A typical meal here tends to include rice and plantains, two essential elements for which the local area is known for plating up.

Of course, you can't leave La Pena without sinking your teeth into tamales (corn dough rolls) or corvina (baked fish). Popular with locals and considered signature recipes, they are a must-try experience for anyone with an interest in food.

If you're not one to skip dessert, you should definitely introduce your palate to raspados (ice topped with sweet syrup). This sweet treat represents the region in just one mouthful.

Good news, beer lovers. You'll find some lip-smacking brews on tap here. Relax with a glass of Balboa in a comfy bar and don't forget to text your mates back at home, 'Wish you were beer'.

Dedicated travellers usually make an effort to memorise a few words and phrases in the local tongue. You'll find that being able to communicate with the locals isn't just useful, it's fun! To get you started, try to get your mouth around 'Mucho gusto Encantado'. It means 'pleased to meet you'. Another often used phrase is '¿Cómo estás?' ('how are you?').

Held on the 3rd of November, Independence Day occupies a special place in the hearts of the locals. It offers a great chance to discover the country's history and let your hair down while you're at it!

The good news is that La Pena isn't going anywhere, so this "Adiós" needn't be your last!

Wondering where the closest airport is? Well, it's called Tocumen International Airport (PTY) and you can find it 210 kilometres northeast.
