A day trip from Panama City took us to the small town of Portobelo (established during the Spanish colonial period) in the Colón Province. We enjoyed some beautiful views from Fort San Lorenzo designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Portobelo Bay Panama still has some remnants of the old fort - note the 3 cannons still remaining.  Rumor has it that Sir Francis Drake was buried in a lead coffin at sea in this bay !  No evidence was ever found
