Bocas del Toro - Weekend Getaway

Five hundred years ago, the great discoverer Christopher Columbus arrived at a tropical paradise on the western Caribbean coast of what is now Panama. Overwhelmed by the most incredible contrasts of vivid colour and sheer unspoilt natural surroundings, Columbus decided to drop anchor and immerse in this heavenly place. Not much has changed since that pristine time with the exception of the provocative Calypso beat, the constant smiles of the people and the alluring island accent of the Caribbean inhabitants. Bocas is the best place to sink your toes in the white sand, to explore lush tropical rainforests and coral reefs and to look for the faithful sea turtles that have come to these islands for millennia.
