Probably highlight of Portobelo but not worth the trip

Mar. 2023

The tour to Portobelo was part of a cruise ship excursion that went here from Colon, then to Panama Canal lock afterwards. It is about an hour and a half by bus to the town. It is historical in that it has some old forts there and this Black Christ Church, but honestly seemed like an excuse to get tourists to come to a depressed area. The town is small and walkable if you don't mind uneven streets. The Church was wide open and it was a very hot day in early March. The guide spoke inside the church with a speaker which no doubt disturbed the few worshippers present and was disrespectful to say the least. Someone sold candles outside the church. There was a small store that sold stuff and a tiny market of local artisans, but not worth the trip. If I had known what the town looked like I would not have bothered with any tour that stopped here.

I tried to get in to see this church but all of the doors were locked so I could only see the exterior.

Research before arriving! Unless you book a guided your, you won't know what happened where or why. The church was open to visitors which was great. the image itself is on a corner and you can actually go all the way up yo it to see it up close and ask for your own miracle, which will have higher chances of being granted if you buy a candle and light it. There is next to no information available on the church grounds.

Iglesia de San Philipe

Apr. 2022

Lets at least give it its proper title, Iglesia de San Philipe
It just looks and feels old, the wooden support pillars and roof, rough plastering, huge doors etc. And it just has that nice serene atmosphere that not all churches possess. Outside was hustle and bustle, inside peaceful with some excellent wooden side altars. Including of course the one with a black Jesus. No charge to enter, all doors wide open to worshippers and visitors alike, so donate something for your visit and help the upkeep of this nice little church.

Intruiging

Dec. 2020 • Solo

A must see in Portobelo...if the church is open. Modest in size but as pained and suffering as any of the images of Christ around the World.

Interesting church. The pillars that support the building look like complete tree trunks. Simple, but has a great feel to it. Nice little town.

Old church with black Christ statue

Feb. 2020

The story behind the black Christ was more intersting than the church.
I enjoyed walking in the neighboring fort more than the church.
