Article of the Week:
Isla Iguana |
23/12/2008
Panama's dry season is knocking on our doors; harsh sun during the day and windy, clear sunsets are increasingly frequent. Dry season lures us to travel, explore, discover and enjoy of the many places this beautiful country has to offer.
One of those splendid places is the Isla Iguana Wildlife Refuge, in Los Santos province on the Azuero Peninsula. This marine area is 58 hectares wide, including nine kilometers of seashore at El Arenal beach. It was declared a protected zone on June 15, 1981.
Departing from Panama City, it takes about five hours to drive to the town of Pedasi. You take the Pan-American Highway until Divisa (there's a police check point there), then turn southward toward Chitre. The road passes several towns: Parita, La Villa de los Santos, Guarare, Las Tablas, etc. The road to Pedasi is straight, brand new and well paved.
Even though the town of Pedasi is very small, it has several lodges, restaurants, grocery stores, a beautiful church, two gas stations and an airfield. There is also a club for scuba divers, where it is possible to rent equipment or arrange trips. If you want to save some money, it is a good idea to ask for other people in town who want to travel to the island to share the ride and thus the cost of the boat trip.
The fishermen who own the boats are on El Arenal beach at dawn. If you are lucky, it will be possible to navigate the five kilometers that separate Isla Iguana from Pedasi very early in the morning and enjoy the whole day in the island. Also, it is not rare to descry the bodies of the humpback "yubartas" whales (Megaptera novaengliae), swimming in the channel. Once a year, they migrate from the cold waters of the north to the warm ones of the south, where they mate and reproduce.
