The best assets Azuero has to offer is its solitary travelers, large and sandy beaches, surrounded by the rolling hills and green pastures. Due to the shortage of rainfall throughout the year, the east coast of Azuero is called "dry arc" and is perfect for those looking for a good time constant. If you love surfing, you will certainly enjoy the great waves of the beaches of Venao, Cambutal and Lagarto, among others. The best place to practice scuba diving and snorkeling is the National Wildlife Refuge Isla de la Iguana, south of Pedasi. This spectacular tropical island lies in the Gulf of Panama's largest coral reef. And between June and November you can see humpback whales. Iguana Island is also the site for the spawning of five different species of turtles. Also, you might see red frigates and many other native sea birds.
If you want to know the true spirit of Panama you can not miss the Azuero Peninsula.
