Directions by rental car:
​
With your thoroughly checked and operational rental vehicle, optimally equipped with GPS or Google Maps, you leave Panama City first over the bridge "Puente de las Américas".
When you have left the bridge, drive about 3 hours in the direction of Divisa.
Before you arrive at Divisa, there is a road sign indicating the direction to Pedasi. This is the road you have to follow. At this point you leave the Panamericana Highway. The turn-off is on the right side and leads you over a small bridge. Now drive towards Chitre and then to Las Tablas.
You drive straight down the main road until you reach a traffic light after a roundabout. At the traffic light continue in the direction of Tonost. You will reach an intersection with a green house, which is labeled "Electronic Café". Turn left there and immediately afterwards, turn right again into a side street in front of Bank Banistmo. Follow the road until you reach the point where the road ends. Then turn left into the street. After about 100 metres, turn right in front of a yellow building.
Now you are on the road to Valle Rico. This beautifully paved mountain road takes you over the mountains for about an hour. Once in the valley, turn left at the large cantina (typical Panamanian bar).
Drive straight on for about 5 minutes until you reach the next crossroads. Now turn right. About 5 minutes later you will reach the small town of Tonosi.
At the entrance of Tonosi there is a gas station on the right, this is also the last possibility to refuel to Guanico. On the left side there is also the Banco National (last possibility to get money).
At the Banco National turn right and follow the road. At the big intersection keep left. On the left side you will see a blue sign indicating the surrounding villages, among them Playa Guanico.
It is a 20 minute drive from Tonosi to Guanico. During the drive you will pass the sign indicating the direction to Bucaro. At this point you simply continue straight ahead. About 5 minutes later, a blue sign with the inscription Playa Guanico appears on the right side. On the left side you can see different coloured signs, on one side you see the inscription "Surf House el in del mundo". At this intersection turn left and follow the road until you reach the sea by car. There you turn left and drive about 200 meters until the road ends.
At this point you will see our little paradise.
Please note the speed limits, as police officers on motorcycles, with radar pistols, along the motorways make speed controls.
