About Renting a Car at Santiago Center
Santiago in Panama is the heart of Veraguas province and serves as an excellent base for exploring the country's central regions. From here you can reach the Pacific coast and the quiet beaches at Santa Catalina in approximately two hours along the Pan-American Highway and then south toward the coast. To the north, toward the Caribbean coast and the tropical rainforest within Coiba National Park, an entirely different landscape opens up, full of parrots and monkeys.
Santiago is best visited during the dry season between December and April, when roads are passable and the sky is clear blue.
