About this route
Las Lajas is a long, wide beach on the Pacific coast of eastern Chiriquí — quiet, uncrowded and lined with a handful of small beach hotels. This shuttle takes you there straight from Santa Catalina in about three and a half hours: leave at 7:30 AM and be on the sand before lunch.
It is an easy hop for travellers moving west after Coiba, or for anyone who wants a few slow days by the sea before heading up to Boquete. Return trips from Las Lajas run on request — ask us for availability.
