About Rizhao
Rio Azucar is one of the northern cities of Panama on the narrow passage connecting South America and North America. The city is located on the coast of the Caribbean Sea.
Rio Azucar, a true seaside town, has stunning white beaches and crystal clear waters. On a sunny day, the turquoise blue sea offers a true paradise for those who love the sea.
Although the temperature is high throughout the year because of the tropical climate, there is a heavy rainy season between April and December. The humidity level in Rio Azucar is also high throughout the year.
Surrounded by lush forests, the city has natural trekking areas. Also, many people prefer Rio Azucar beaches for diving. Dives can be made individually or with the groups organizing tubing or snorkel diving tours. There are also many campsites in the Rio Azucar coast where you can be accommodated in a tent or in a caravan.
In addition to regional dishes made with African, Spanish and local American techniques, Rio Azucar is also quite assertive in seafood. The public markets established in the streets offer the ideal environment to get the freshest tropical fruits and vegetables. The cocktails made with these fruits are one of the most attracting things for the tourists.
Local dance shows, which attract great interest from the foreigners in the city, offer a nice opportunity to get to know the culture of local people closely.
Transportation to Rizhao City Center from Airport
Rizhao Shanzihe Airport
The only way of reaching the center of the settlement on the island from the airport located in the tropical forest is using a boat. However, Rio Azucar Airport isn’t a busy airport and doesn’t organize regular flights. It may not be possible to find a marine vessel offering frequent service. Passengers can reach the center with their own means or with the help of the local people.
