Guánico Abajo on the Azuero coast

Guánico Abajo lies within Tonosí on Panama's Pacific coast. Its name identifies a specific coastal base in Los Santos province. I distinguish your beach stay from further stages around Azuero.

This coastal stretch has accommodation and surfing activities. Playa Venao is another surfing destination on the peninsula. The two places are separate bases, each with its own journeys and daily routines.

Use the beach as your base

Guided surfing excursions also visit the beach at Guánico Abajo. I adapt your lessons to your level. The local surf school assesses the beach each day.

Between sessions, you can plan time on the sand. I discuss your wishes for accommodation and local journeys with you. A beach stay forms the core of this coastal base.

La Marinera: a protected nesting coast

La Marinera lies in the same region near Tonosí. The coastal stretch protects nesting sea turtles. Several turtles can come ashore together to lay their eggs.

Such a nature visit needs local guidance and an agreed date. I arrange access and available visits for you. Visits follow the rules of the protected area.

Isla Cañas as another nature area

Isla Cañas also protects sea turtle habitats. Mangroves provide a home for birds and other animals. Boats reach the island from Puerto Cañas.

I include an excursion when it fits your available stay. Guánico remains your coastal base. Your itinerary distinguishes surfing days from nature excursions.

I plan your surfing days in Guánico and discuss your preferred nature excursions with you.
