The Comfort & Ethereal Charm Of Casa Pedro

There is a distinct trend in modern travel, one that is geared towards fast paced action. This method of travel is relentless, starting from the moment you travel to the airport and ending once you arrive back home. People rush through their holidays trying to pack in as many activities as possible.

 

It’s a wonder that a lot of people manage to appreciate the moment at all, but it does depend on one thing more than any other – atmosphere. The bright lights of an airport for that late night flight or the buzzing energy of a big city makes it easy to rush around without fully reflecting on your surroundings. Once you get out of the city and into a relaxed and charming atmosphere this changes.

Here in Panama we are lucky to be able to still share our lives with these creatures, and give the rest of the world a little glimpse of them as well. Panama has been fighting for the rights of the whales for years now. Panama even held the 64th international whaling commission in 2012.
