Bocas del Toro

Bocas del Toro is one of the favorite destinations among Panamanians and visitors. Just a 45-minute flight from Panama City brings you to the north-westernmost province of the country. Immerse yourself in its cultures, cross forest-covered mountains, sail through mangroves, swim among reefs, surf the perfect wave and discover the good vibes of Bocas.

Bocas del Toro is divided in two, it has a continental side and its archipelago in the Caribbean Sea. The continental side is very green. It is preserved thanks to its protected areas such as La Amistad International Park (PILA), the Bosque Protector de Palo Seco and one of the indigenous communities you can visit: the Naso Tjër Di.

If you visit them, you can explore their lands, sleep in their villages and learn about their customs. We recommend you hire a certified guide and have a car to take the roads.
