Getting Here
People coming for holidays are from cities and come to relax and enjoy in this Hotel in Playa Venao. We believe one can only feel relaxed when your mind is at peace.
By Car
The journey by car is approximately 5 hours from Panama City.
Coming from the Pan-American Highway, from either direction, take the turnoff at Divisa in the direction of Chitre (south). It’s not extremely well marked, so look out for the overpass spanning the highway — that’s the road to Venao!
Continue on the main highway through the towns of Chitre, Las Tablas and Pedasí. It’s about 30 minutes between each. Continue straight down the main road of Pedasí and continue until you see signs for Playa Venao. Eco Venao is about 1 kilometer past the main entrance to the beach (there’s a pink bus stop next to the entrance). You’ll see the Eco Venao sign and gate on your right.
If you wish to rent a car during your stay in Venao, we suggest a local rental company in Pedasi that rents all types of vehicles including scooters, and can assist in airport delivery. Please contact them at www. AutosPanama.net
By Bus
Buses from Panama City to Las Tablas and/or Chitré depart regularly from the Albrook Bus Terminal (tel: 303-3030) throughout the day. From Las Tablas there is one direct bus to Eco Venao which leaves around 1pm (see Local Bus Timetable below).
This bus leaves from the main square in Las Tablas. There are many other buses in that travel between Las Tablas and Pedasí each with their own stop.
Asking a local is the best advice we can give you. There are three daily buses from Pedasí to Eco Venao (except Sundays).
The Local Bus Timetable below illustrates the regular local bus service. The local buses often leave both early and late so it is advisable to arrive at the stop in good time and have alternative plan (see By Taxi section below).
