About Punta Burica
The lodge is located on the beach in Punta Burica, about 8 kilometers
south of the town of Puerto Armuelles in one of the most beautiful areas
of Panama. The area boasts a wealth of wildlife including howler monkeys
and a wide variety of tropical birds.
This Pacific beach extends for 7 miles plus 2 miles of surfing beaches by
the point. The ocean offers a bounty of fish, whales and other marine
life. There are good diving spots and snorkeling reefs nearby. Punta
Burica is predominantly undeveloped and is biologically diverse. However,
there is a new road, electricity, and water which affords the residents an
acceptable standard of living.
Reaching Punta Burica is easy. The closest main city of David and it's
airport are only about a 1.5 hour ride away. There is also an excellent
airstrip 15 min. away in the town of Puerto Armuelles for possible charter
flights from David or Panama City.
