A little paradise moored in the Caribbean
Bocas del Toro... a tranquil and protected destination where you can get around on foot, by bike or in a pirogue. Bocas del Toro...a peaceful and sensual place where 'ceviche de corvina', 'patacones, pulpo y arroz con coco' and crayfish are savoured under the stars while listening to the sound of the waves. Bocas...a corner of paradise moored in the Caribbean where time seems to stand still. For those who are put off by an absence of tourist and seaside facilities, Bocas del Toro is a sought-after yet still undiscovered eldorado in the kingdom of the 'oro verde' Still today, tourists arrive with their backpacks and power cuts and water shortages are less of a worry than an excuse for spending the evening with neighbours. Located on the Isla Colón, formerly Isla del Drago, the small capital of the region opens out onto the 9 principal islands of the archipelago. Mangrove swamps, red corals, giant tortoises and vast unspoilt beaches. At once a unique marine park,a gem of the Isla Bastimentos and a dream setting! If you like places off the beaten track where nature alone rules supreme... if you like the sea, the sweet Caribbean scents and star-studded nights, if you like Spanish, a Spanish adorned with laughter, celebrations and music... it's definite, you are going to love Bocas del Toro!
