Bocas del Toro Panama Travel Guide - Captivating & Unforgettable | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Welcome to Bocas Del Toro, a beautiful province in Panama!
Did you know that Bocas Del Toro, translated from Spanish means “Bull’s river mouths?” Such name might sound scary to you, but don’t worry, both place and its locals are warm and friendly. However, the capital of this province bears the same name – the city of Bocas del Toro or Bocas Town for short, and it is located on Isla Colón.
Bocas Del Toro might not have a vast territory, but it is proud to have two national parks on it - La Amistad International Park and Isla Bastimentos National Marine Park. Another interesting fact is that the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute has a research station located close to Bocas Town, so you can be sure you’ll be surrounded by fantastic nature that’s worth exploring.
If you are looking for accommodation for your holiday here, we would recommend you to check out the wonderful Cosmic Crab Resort. It is located on Isla Carenero, and it is where we stayed at. For a reasonable price, you will have a chance to enjoy refreshing Caribbean breezes and sunbathe near coconut trees while eating delicious food. What more could you ask for?

Panama, Veraguas, Sona, Road to Sona
The first video in a new series: Destinations. These photos were captured in September 2009 while en-route to Sona in Veraguas traveling in a Suzuki Vitara (4x4), and are presented to document the road conditions and popular sites. Traveling from Santiago, the capital city of Veraguas, the trip took approximately 45 minutes. The road is under construction and in various phases of improvement with several bridges being built to facilitate travel. Surfers are familiar with this road as it leads to one of Panama's best surf spots: Santa Catalina. Santa Catalina is one of the popular port cities where travel to Coiba Island National Park, the largest island in Central America, is possible.
This is BOCAS TOWN. Travel to Bocas Del Toro, Panama.
Before we arrived Bocas Del Toro, Panama, we had a difficult time finding much on YouTube about the town. Therefore we decided to do our own vlog about the town to give other people a better idea of what the town is like!
We started off our day in the centre of town at the main park (Parque Simón Bolívar) in the centre of town. This is also where you pick up buses to get to other parts of the Isla Colon. We then went and got fresh juice from a vendor in town.
After that we went and explored the boutiques in town. There are lots of great small shops and surf shops and is great for shopping.
We then went and got lunch from a great little take away shop called Amaranto. Having to wash it down with something we head to La Buguita to have a drink and take in the great view of the water taxis and waterfront area.
Lastly we take you back to our great Airbnb just outside of town in Saigon Bay. It’s called Koko Resort and is a group fully equipped overwater bungalows. That we’d highly recommend renting when in Bocas Del Toro!

Bocas del Toro, Panama:
Bocas del Toro is a province in Panama with an island chain off the Caribbean coast, and a section of mainland with a very biodiverse rainforest. Isla Colon, the most important island, is home to the capital called Bocas Town. Bocas Town is full of touristic places with many restaurants, shops and very active nightlife. Among the most popular beaches Boca del Dragon is perhaps the most well known. One of the main attractions in Isla Colon is the Starfish Beach, named for the number of sea starts you can find there. Bocas del Toro is the perfect place if you are planning on visiting the archipielago.
Bocas Town:
Boca Town is a touristic town on the southern tip of Colon Island. The corregimento of Bocas del Toro has a land area of 67.3 square kilometres (26.0 sq mi) and had a population of 7,366 as of 2010, giving it a population density of 109.4 inhabitants per square kilometre (283/sq mi). Its population as of 1990 was 5,274; its population as of 2000 was 4,020.
Relatively few Panamanians live on the island, opting for cheaper housing on the mainland. Mainland residents working on Colón Island travel by boat. Bocas del Toro is a popular tourist destination year-round. The town is small enough that most places are within walking distance. The streets are arranged in a grid. Avenidas (avenues) run east to west and calles (streets) run north to south. Bocas del Toro is still relatively unknown as a dive destination. However, it offers a great diversity of aquatic life around its islands.

Granito De Oro Island, Coiba National Park, Panama
Granito De Oro Island, Coiba National Park, Panama - Diving in Granito de Oro
Travel Videos HD, World Travel Guide
Granito de Oro is an islet in Coiba National Park that has become one of the most popular stops for visitors interested in sunbathing, diving in the waters that abound in fish, or spending some time relaxing on one of the whitest sand beaches in the world. Granito de Oro means Little Grain of Gold, and that it is indeed.
A haven for the body and soul, right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Location
=========
Granito de Oro is located in the Pacific Ocean, south of the province of Veraguas. The island is within the 270,125-hectare area of Coiba National Park that protects marine, coastal, and island ecosystems and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005. Within this park are the insular areas (153,582 hectares) of Coiba Island, Ranchería (Coibita) Jicarón, Jicarita, Afuerita, Canal de Afuera, Uvas, Contreras, and Brincanco, as well as marine areas (216,543 hectares), making it one of the largest marine parks in the world.
How to arrive
===========
To reach Coiba National Park island and visit the Granito de Oro islet, you must first travel to Port Mutis. On the boat ride over to the island you will go on an impressive tour of the beautiful Gulf of Montijo Wetland, observing its coastal and marine flora and fauna around the Gulf islands of Leones, Cébaco, and Gobernadora.
It can also be reached by travelling to Hicaco, Santa Catalina, and Playa Arrimadero in Madre Vieja, although on these routes you will not be able to observe the beauty of the Gulf of Montijo.
Plane: A flight from Panama City to the city of Santiago takes approximately 20 minutes.
Car: It is a 5 hour drive (245 kilometers). Once in Santiago, take the highway to either Puerto Mutis (25 km) or Santa Catalina to board a boat and sail to the island.

Water bottle
Swimsuit
Sunscreen
Insect repellent
Snorkeling gear

Visit Panama: A Super Boring Gamboa Resort Aerial Tram Ride
The Aerial Tram ride at Gamboa Resort is just one of the many activities that guests can book (with fee, of course). Save your money for another activity. An Agouti fortunately crossed our path and that was the highlight.

Bocas Del Toro-Panama Vlog 2018
Three days, two night trip to Bocas Del Toro, Panama with my family. This trip has been a one of a kind experience as I tanned myself into the colour of café con leche and face my fear of water on a boat ride against the big ocean waves
