HOW TO FIND US

We are located in Palmilla, 8 km south of Mariato, on the west coast of the Azuero peninsula and along the road to Cerro Hoya. Check us out on Google Maps

By car: (see also our photographic road instructions):

  • Take the Atalaya turn off (to the south) from the Interamericana, which is about 4 km east of Santiago. From here it takes just over an hour to reach us.
  • Another 4 km down this road, take a right turn at Mini Super El Cruce (just past the fuel station which is also the last reliable source of fuel); this turn off is signposted with a small blue playa (beach) sign.
  • Follow this road for 25 km. Where the road forks, follow the right fork to Mariato.
  • When, after another 30 km, you reach Mariato, (which now has a bank with an ATM machine), keep following the road in the direction of Cerro Hoya and Torio.
  • After about 8 km, in Palmilla, you will see our sign for Heliconia Bed and Breakfast and Tanager gardens on your right.
  • If you pass a metal bridge than you have gone about 500 m too far!

By Public Transport:

  • If in Panama city, take a taxi or bus to Albrook terminal where buses for Santiago leave every half hour (Expreso Veraguense or Sanpasa, $9.10). These buses stop at the Santiago bus terminal and take about 3 hours.
  • Buses from Paso Canoa and David leave every two hours towards Panama and stop in Santiago at Piramidal along the Interamericana (also about 3 hours). From the Piramidal you can take a taxi to the Santiago bus terminal (about $1).
  • From the Santiago bus terminal take a minibus that goes to Mariato/Torio . Minibuses leave Santiago about every hour from 6 am to 5 pm, and take about 1.5 hours to Palmilla. Get out at Heliconia Bed and Breakfast and Tanager garden (signposted) in Palmilla. You pay $4.00 as you get off the bus.
