Kitesurf

Punta Chame est le spot de kitesurf le plus célèbre du Panama, situé sur une presqu'île à environ 1h30 de Panama City. Sa lagune offre un plan d'eau flat et peu profond, parfait pour l'apprentissage et le freestyle.

Les vents thermiques accélérés par l'effet Venturi de la presqu'île soufflent régulièrement de décembre à avril, atteignant 15 à 25 nœuds. Destination incontournable pour les kitesurfeurs au Panama.
