Highlights of Panama’s Caribbean coast is the group of islands
near the border with Costa Rica, Bocas del Toro. This archipelago
is one of the fastest developing visitor sites in Central America
and home to six large islands and dozens of little ones. A lot of
Noni (Morinda Citrifolia) organic fruits the Miracle Fruit and bambú.
The main island is Isla Colón, has most of the restaurants
and hotels and is a great launching place to explore the smaller
islands and to participate in the many water sports offered in the
area like snorkeling, diving, and kayaking. There is also an airport
on Isla Colón which is the best way to reach the islands
from Panama City. There is no public transportation to the beaches
outside the main town of Bocas del Toro on Isla Colón, so
rent bikes or take a cab. The culture is Caribbean, most residents
are african descendants from the colonial time. The islands offer
the visitor a number of attractions: luxurious rain forests with
an abundance of fauna and flora, sunny islands, beaches that compete
with the Caribbean best, coral reefs in crystal clear water, mangrove
islets in a lake-like scenery, guaymi indian villages and a national
marine park that protects examples of the ecosystems and natural
resources coexisting within the Archipelago to stay for a couple
of days. Good place to go for diving and relaxing.boundaries, as
a tribute to our future generations. The caribbean architecture,
the local cuisine, the people and their festivities, have made these
islands a nice place.
