Traditional Dance Performance

Music and dance are a huge part of Portobelo's culture, and this performance gives a taste of three of the most famous traditional dances from the area. Each dance represents the history of the people here - Congo dates back to the time of colonial slavery, while Zaracunde tells the story of the slaves who ran away into the mountains, and Los Diablos represents the achievement of freedom.

The performance lasts around one hour, with local instruments used, and the opportunity to join in if you're feeling brave!
