Historic Nombre de Dios Village
One of the first European settlements on the American mainland, founded in 1510. It was Spain's primary Caribbean port and starting point of the Camino Real treasure route. Today it's a quiet Afro-Caribbean village with a 1.5 km beach of distinctive salt-and-pepper sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters. An authentic, uncommercial alternative to Portobelo.
