Palafitos de Gamboa
Bedste tid at besøge
The best time to arrive is early morning, when the water is calmest and the facade colors are brightest. The tide table will help you plan your walk for low tide, when you can see the entire stilt structure.
Budgettips
Walking and viewing from the outside is completely free; you only pay for goods from cafes or the market. Souvenir prices at the stalls vary by up to two times, so it is worth visiting several before buying.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Over hundrede farverige huse står på pæle over vandet, og deres højde afhænger af tidevandet, som her når flere meter. Hver familie malede facaden i en anden farve, så fiskerne fra havet på afstand kunne genkende deres eget hus.
Højdepunkter: Når tidevandet stiger, forsvinder de nederste platforme under vand, og husene ser ud til at flyde, mens der ved ebbe åbenbarer sig mudret jord under dem, vrimlende med krabber. I stueetagerne holder fiskerne stadig til: der tørrer net, og gennem de åbne vinduer stiger duften af aftensmad op, så kvarteret er levende, selv når turisterne rejser.
Insidertips
- Wear non-slip shoes, as the wooden walkways can be very slippery after rain.
- The best photos are taken from the opposite shore or from the water at sunset.
- Follow the tide table and plan your walk for low tide to see all the stilts.
- Instead of leaving during the afternoon heat, stay until dark, when the hosts turn on the warm lights and the waterfront becomes quieter.
