• by bus:
• Go to the ALBROOK- BUS-TERMINAL.
• Take the direct bus (directo) from Panama City to Las Tablas. Bus-schedule: http://thebusschedule.com/pa/
• There is one direct bus from Las Tablas to Venao Beach that leaves at around 1:30pm
• If you don't make that bus, there are hourly buses from Las Tablas to Pedasi.
• There is a change of terminals in Las Tablas - Busses from Las Tablas towards Pedasi leave from in front of the supermarket 'Supercentro Rosa'. Note: see map attached.
• Buses from Pedasi to Venao leave three times a day: 7:30am, 12:00 and 2:00pm. It is important to say here that buses often don't leave exactly on time, they might even leave a little bit early.
• Taxis from Las Tablas to Playa Venao are about US$40
• Taxis from Pedasi to Venao Cove are about US$25
• Venao Cove is the last entrance on Playa Venao, to the left. The bus-drivers know the place. Tell them 'la ultima entrada!' :)
• By car:
• From Tocumen Airport take the freeway to the city (corredor sur).
• Leave the city over the Bridge of the Americas (puente de las americas).
• After you have crossed the bridge, drive for about 2 1/2 hours until the town of Divisa.
• You have to really watch out not to miss the turn-off in Divisa (especially driving after dark). This is where you turn off from the pan-american-higway, onto the peninsula of Azuero.
• Just before Divisa there are billboards advertising the town and the coast of Pedasi, that's where you want to be heading. There will be a turnoff to the right, with a small bridge veering to the left, (in a curve above the highway) and then down towards the towns of Chitre, Las Tablas, Pedasi and finally, at pretty much the end of the road, Playa Venao.
• It might be smart to have a closer look a map around the towns of Chitre and Las Tablas - so you have an idea where the by-passes are and where to go in case you miss them and end up driving through the towns.
• People are always willing to give you directions in case you get lost! :)
