Panama, Beauty & Luxury: Portobello

Portobelo is a natural port and a town located in the Republic of Panama. One of the most important towns in America during the colonial era and port that spent most of the wealth that Spain sailed to Europe from the conquest of South America today. Portobelo is located on the north coast of the Isthmus of Panama, about 50 km northeast of Columbus (city). It bounded on the north by the Caribbean Sea, south of the province of Panama, the east with the district of Santa Isabel and west to the city of Colon.

A Portobelo can be reached by sea or by land, following the Transitmica Avenue, a distance of 49 km from the city of Colon and 105 km from the city of Panama.

Bay of Portobelo was discovered by Christopher Columbus on his fourth voyage, on November 2, 1502. This place attracted the attention of Columbus for its natural environment and the unique beauty and security offered. For this reason, he baptized with the name of Porto Bello.

It was not until the late sixteenth century the Spaniards used it as population settlement. The city of Portobelo was founded on March 20, 1597 by Francisco Velarde y Mercado, 4 replacing the city of Name of God, as this was disabled for climatic reasons. The original name was San Felipe de Portobelo in honor of Philip II.
