Where is Altos del Maria Located?

Altos del Maria is located in The Republic of Panama, Central America, in the province of Panama, district of Chame exactly in Sora township. Close to Panama City, yet away from the hectic, busy city life.

If you want to get there, it is only 1 hour and 20 minutes west of Panama City, along the Interamericana Highway. It is a 60 minute drive (94 km - 58.28 miles) to the town of Bejuco. Once in Bejuco, make a right turn at the Altos del Maria sign, and then you will drive for about a 20 minutes from Sora (19 km - 11.78 miles) to our unbelievably beautiful mountain paradise.

If you’re traveling from the Playa Blanca (Farallon) area, you travel east, towards Panama City, for about 35 minutes to the town of Bejuco (just 7-10 minutes after Coronado), make a left turn at the Altos del Maria sign and then you will go on for another 20-minute drive from Sora (19 km - 11.78 miles) to our beautiful development.

It is said that Altos del Maria is in the heart of Panama, because it is also 90 minutes (119 km - 73.78 miles) away from the central provinces of Panama (Divisa), and on the Caribbean side it is 3 hours away from Portobello, Colon.

Altos, as often called, is only 30 minutes away from the nearest beach located in a belt of beaches, a modern 24/7 supermarket that offers lots of imported goods, a private hospital and for the sports enthusiast, there are three golf courses and excellent fishing. Currenlty, the development has a private road used exclusively by owners of Altos del Maria, which allows for direct access to El Valle de Anton. The road is unpaved and is mainly used during the dry season. Management starts working in some sections of the road and it's going to be complete in the near future.
