Just over a week after the earthquake that shook our corner of Panama, we're reflecting on the history beneath our feet, the resilience of our community, and what comes next. With tourism season approaching, we believe it's time to look beyond the headlines, share our story, and remind the world why keeping your travel plans matters. Panama is still beautiful, our community is moving forward, and we're ready to welcome you.

Four days after the earthquake, we’re feeling incredibly grateful that our family, team, animals, and buildings at Morrillo Beach Eco Resort are safe. This experience has reminded us of the importance of thoughtful construction, preparation, and community. As we reflect on our own experience and think of those facing a more difficult recovery, we share why we hope travelers will continue to visit and support the beautiful country we call home: Panama.
