WATER ACTIVITIES

Pedal Boats in Barrage Lake

In 1904, during the construction of the Panama Canal, a temporary settlement known as New Portobelo was built where El Otro Lado now resides. The settlement was evacuated in 1914, and during these 80 years, nature retook its territory leaving no trace of this settlement with the exception of our private historical Dam. Enjoy the peace and quiet as you ride in the pedal boats through this century-old barrage lake.
