Bocas del Toro: paradise on earth

Bocas del Toro is the name of an exotic archipelago to the west of Panama. The beaches here are pearly white and the sea is azure blue. This is the perfect destination for some peace and privacy. Pass the time snorkelling, swimming or diving and enjoy nature; the islands are covered with beautiful tropical rainforest.

Coconut palms on Isla Bastimentos

Relaxing on a tropical beach

The island of Isla Bastimentos is home to 2 beautiful beaches: Red Frog Beach and Playa Larga. Red Frog Beach was named after the bright red frogs that are only found in the forests around this beach. But watch out as they are tiny - the size of a pin-head - and poisonous! Isla Bastimentos is also famous for its beach where swimming is not allowed. This is where from April to August sea turtles come to shore to lay their eggs. A really unique sight.

Tropical cabins on Isla Colón

Feasting in and around the tropical capital

All the islands share one capital: Bocas del Toro, located on Isla Colón. The residents of Bocas del Toro clearly have a taste for great food. The city centre offers a host of eateries, including American (Nine Degrees), Asian (Lemongrass), Mediterranean (Casbah) and Indian (OM). Just outside the city we find Guari Guari: the kitchen prepares delicious meals with local products and ingredients.

Animal-spotting in the rainforest

Every island in the Bocas del Toro archipelago offers beautiful beaches and lush tropical rainforest. The forests are inhabited by monkeys, exotic birds, sloths and brightly coloured frogs. The most popular attraction on Boca del Drago is the Grotto, a cave that is home to 3 different species of bats. The islands are also inhabited by many Indians – for example, the hospitable Ngobe-Bugle tribe lives on Isla Bastimentos.

The Panama Canal is also called the 8th wonder of the world and that's quite understandable. The project was one of the largest and most incredible engineering feats in history. Ships no longer have to sail around the continent but can cut straight through the 77-km-long canal, saving an enormous amount of time and money.

Nightlife

When the sun goes down, Panama City comes alive. The city is famous for its vibrant nightlife and residents love to go out at night and party. The city’s pleasant climate offers long, sultry nights with colourful drinks and lively music. Here follows a small selection of the city’s best restaurants, nightclubs and rooftop bars.

Nature

Just a 30-minute drive from Panama City lies the green tropical world of Soberania National Park. This rainforest is the habitat of hundreds of species of fauna and flora and is especially known for its 525 different species of birds. There are numerous daytrips from Panama City, but to get a real taste of the rainforest, it is worth spending several days in the park and overnighting in the jungle.
