The Chame Canyon is one of the most unique landscapes in the area and truly a wonder of mother nature. Hidden in the Altos del Maria, which is only a 45-60 minute drive from Punta Chame, you will find these incredible rock formations, which have been shaped by many years of erosion of the Chame River. It ranges for many hundred meters and is the perfect place to explore, relax and to refresh from the hot weather.

Isla Farallon is a unique island off the coast off Farallon on the southern coast of Panama, only a couple of hours drive from Panama City. We ventured down on three buses from Valle de Anton in about an hour and enjoyed a day of soaking up the sun, exploring Isla Farallon and beach volleyball on Farallon Beach. This is a family-friendly beach with nothing but chill vibes, sun, and salt!

Only 3 km off the beach from Punta Chame lays the small and private island, which was once owned by the famous film actor John Wayne. In his honor, John Wayne City – a western-like resort and theme park were built which used to be a holiday destination for European and American tourists. Today, the so-called ‘John Wayne Island’, is totally deserted and resembles a ghost town where you rather not want to spend the night…
