Portobelo, Panama

Portobelo, Panama

Spanish treasure fleets once loaded silver from across the Americas at this small Caribbean bay, and the ruined stone forts that tried, and repeatedly failed, to keep Henry Morgan and Francis Drake out still ring the harbor today, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Black Christ festival each October draws pilgrims from across Panama to the town's small church. Reef and wreck diving in the clear bay, alongside a laid-back Afro-Colonial fishing village, round out a stop with more pirate history per square meter than almost anywhere in the Caribbean.
