Los Santos
A province on the southeastern Azuero Peninsula, known for its lively Carnival, Pacific surf beaches and Iguana Island.
Los Santos lies in the southeastern Azuero Peninsula of Panama, on the Pacific coast, and is considered one of the cradles of Panamanian folk culture. Carnival in the capital, Las Tablas, is famous nationwide, and the traditional "pollera" dress is a local symbol. The small town of Pedasí is the gateway for snorkeling and sea turtle watching at Iguana Island, while Venao Beach is a well-known surf spot. The dry season, December–April, is best. You can drive or take a bus from Panama City via the Pan-American Highway.
