Destination
About Bocas del Toro
Bocas del Toro is a province in the far north-west of Panama, next to the border with Costa Rica, made up of a piece of mainland and an archipelago in the Caribbean Sea with nine islands and thousands of islets.
Its main island, Isla Colón, holds the provincial capital, Bocas Town, a colourful place of wooden houses, many of them built by the United Fruit Company when the area was a base for banana plantations. The town has a strong Afro-Caribbean culture, heard in its calypso and reggae and its guari-guari language.
Water taxis link it to Isla Carenero and Isla Bastimentos, home to Panama's first marine park, Red Frog Beach and the village of Old Bank. Coral reefs, surf and beaches such as Starfish Beach draw visitors, and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute is based in the archipelago. Cruise calls are occasional.
