Bocas del Toro

The islands, mangroves, tropical forests and coral reefs of Bocas del Toro in north-east Panama are home to a stunning diversity of marine and terrestrial species.

The province of Bocas del Toro is bursting with biodiversity thanks to its wealth of habitats that range from tropical lowland rainforests and mangroves to coral reefs and savannah pastures. 

Encounters with three-toed sloth, Central American woolly opossum, keel-billed toucan, red-capped manakin, Panamanian night monkey, strawberry poison-dart frog, bottlenose dolphins, red-headed dwarf gecko and various other species are all possible when exploring this flourishing region of Panama.

In the early 1500s, Christopher Columbus and his crew visited the area in search of a passage to the Pacific Ocean, adding to the rich history of the province, which also includes time as part of Costa Rica and Colombia.
