Best time to visit Portobelo:
December to April (Dry Season/High Season):
- This period is considered the best time to visit most parts of Panama. The weather is dry, sunny, and comfortable, with temperatures ranging from the 70s to 90s Fahrenheit (21-32°C). It's ideal for beach vacations, exploring historical sites, and outdoor adventures. Rainfall is minimal during this time, offering clear skies and excellent conditions for hiking and wildlife viewing. However, it's also the high season, so prices for accommodations and tours may be higher.
May to November (Rainy Season/Low Season):
- The rainy season in Panama brings warmer temperatures and increased humidity, along with afternoon rain showers and occasional heavy rain. While the rainfall can be substantial, it typically doesn't last all day. This is the low season, offering lower prices on accommodations and fewer tourists. It's a great time for budget-conscious travelers and those seeking a quieter experience. The countryside is lush and vibrant during these months.
Specific Interests:
- If you're interested in bird-watching, the wet season is the best time to observe migratory birds, especially in destinations like Gamboa and El Valle de Antón.
