Visitors have compared the environment of Bocas to that of remote Tahitian islands and the feel is 1950s Key West or the Hawaiian Islands. The archipelago is dotted with unspoiled islands, miles of white sand beaches, crystal clear turquoise waters and vibrant coral reefs that are home to incredible sea life. Farther offshore, the Caribbean turns cobalt blue, and deep-sea fishing is a favorite sport. Dolphin, tuna, cobia and Wahoo are among the sea’s bounty.
Complementing the sparkling blue of the Caribbean, lush tropical land rises from the sea and climbs to gently rolling hills of the forest. The highest point in Panama is a day-trip away: Vulcan Baru, a dormant volcano that has become a top attraction for adventurists.
As word of this unspoiled Caribbean paradise has spread, Bocas has started to attract visitors from around the world, drawn to its warm year-round weather and diverse natural beauty. Visitors enjoy a fun nightlife, folksy shopping, tasty restaurants and friendly people.
Most residents speak English as a second language, and the American dollar is the official currency of Panama – a reflection of the U.S.’s close ties to Panama and the building of the Panama Canal. |
