Waters, Gateway, Connection

Chepo lies just 90 minutes east of Panama City, but feels worlds away. Situated near Lago Bayano, it’s emerging as a peaceful base for nature-focused events, team off-sites, and wellness weekends.

The standout venue is Wasp House Panama, a private retreat with cabins, a main lodge, and expansive decks overlooking the lake. It caters to yoga groups, writing and coaching retreats, and small-scale workshops.

Activities include cave kayaking, hiking through tropical forest, and river visits to Guna cooperatives offering music, dance, and plant knowledge sessions. Chepo is ideal for accessible but immersive events.

Suggested event types: Spiritual or wellness retreats, Indigenous knowledge residencies, nature-based workshops, artistic residencies
