How To Go There

By Car
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. Very near the entrance of the Pedasí, before the gas station make a left turn to drive to the El Arenal (there is a sign indicating the direction towards the beach) and go straight approximately 3 kilometers along the paved road in good shape until you reach El Arenal beach. Here you can rent a boat to navigate the five kilometers that separate Isla Iguana from the beach El Arenal.

By Bus
The beach El Arenal when you can rent the boat to the Iguana island is located only 3 kilometers from the village of Pedasi. To reach this point you just have to take a bus from Albrook Terminal route Panama - Las Tablas - Pedasi. From Pedasi you can walk about an hour to get to the beach (I don´t think so) or take a taxi and drive 5 minutes.
