Embera Village Tours - Highly recommended. Run by Anne Gordon who is actually married to an Embera. A better guide and more authentic experience to an Embera village does not exist.

Other B&B’s in Panama – put together your own vacation
Casita Margarita in Pedasi - a great new option to explore the beautiful beaches around Pedasi.
Cerrito Tropical on Taboga Island. A 1-2 night stay here is an
excellent option to combine with a stay in the Balboa Inn.

Also a great options for day tours!
Ivan’s Bed & Breakfast in Gamboa - great for birdwatchers.
Boquete Garden Inn - in beautiful Boquete.
Park Eden country retreat – in El Valle de Anton.

Casa las Americas- if you want to be downtown and party.

Posada del Mar near Las Tablas, right on Playa Uverito

La Estancia - our ‘competitor’. A nice B&B more up Ancon hill.
We don’t think the location is as convenient as the Balboa
Inn but it’s a great and well-run B&B so if we are fully booked…
