Located in the north-west of the country towards the border with Costa Rica, the offshore islands of Bocas del Toro are a tropical paradise of virgin rainforest and reef. The archipelago consists of six larger forested islands, many more uninhabited islets and Parque Nacional Marino Isla Bastimentos, Panama’s oldest marine park. An area the Ngobe Indians call home, this is a place of sun, surf, wildlife, unspoilt beauty and a laidback Afro-Caribbean culture.
