This surf camp will take place in Santa Catalina, Panama. Santa Catalina is located on the Chiriqui Gulf in the state of Veraguas. It is a fishing village which existed in seclusion until it's discovered by surfers in the 1970s. Santa Catalina was kept secret by the surfers for almost 10 years.
Santa Catalina offers a few surf camps, low cost hotels, and a few places that serve food. Still fairly secluded, the closest town with ATM, grocery, and other basic services is Soná, which is about an hour away by car.
A tropical paradise, Santa Catalina offers some of the best surfs in Central America. Santa Catalina is the closest access point to Isla Coiba, which is famous for world class and great local diving, fishing, or just for relaxing. Santa Catalina's beautiful beaches, tropical forest, and friendly people make it a great stop for all adventurers wanting to enjoy some of the best of Panama's natural beauty and local flora on any budget.
Please note that you can choose this package either with no meals included, with daily breakfast included or with daily breakfast and lunch included. The prices vary for each package.
Besides surfing, there are a lot of other activities available: snorkeling or diving tours to the national park Coiba, yoga, SUP tours, horseback riding, and more.
