With its over 270 kilometers of coast, world-class fishing grounds and national parks, the azuero península might one day become more famous for its beaches and fishing than itas festivals and folkloric tradition. But as it stands now , azuero’s greatest fame comes from its spectacular February Carnival, witch over 200,000 dancers ( tuna), beauty Queens (reinas), demons (diablos) and reverlers.
For those who explore this 7,616 square kilometer peninsula during the other 51 weeks of the year, a host of pleasant ( and tranquil) surprises await.
