Visit Portobelo riding the train to Colon and continuing by bus on the trail of the Camino Real

When the Spanish colonies were at their prime, and the conquest of the Inca Empire was accomplished, the Spaniards set their eyes in Panama to transfer their cargos from coast to coast. Portobello was the end of the Royal Road (Camino Real), path between the oceans that started in Panama City. There, the Spanish galleons unloaded cargo to be transferred across the Isthmus, to be then loaded with gold to be transferred to Spain. This activity became very attractive to Pirates and Buccaneers, forcing the Spanish conquerors to build forts for protection and customs. Today is home for Black Christ
