Bocas del Toro Travel Blogs

I woke up early and went on a walk through town just to take a few pics before we hit the road. this place is really amazing and i am sad that we didn't get to spend more time here. it is so incredibly different than what i am use to in the states. it seems so poor to me but the people are so happy…

Bocas Del Toro is like a dream really , and you don`t want to wake up...happiness comes easily here...spend the days travelling from beach to beach , one more amazing than the next one....and the weather is always a perfect 35 C and sunny. The evenings with carribean style candlelight din…

  For today we had booked another day trip. This time we went to another island, Isla Bastimentos, the second largest island in the archipelago. Here we did a short nature walk through the jungle, ending up at the so-called Red Frog Beach. The beach gets its name after the endemic tiny…

Yesterday we decided to check out one of the beaches on the island we are staying on (Colon).  We took a bus to the other side of the island (14km).  The beach was decent but not as nice as the beaches on the other island.  We did see many starfish within a few feet of the shore…

Bocas del Toro and the Panama Canal

In the afternoon, we cabbed to the domestic airport to catch a $70 flight to Bocas Del Toro. The airport is very small with only two terminals and plastic boarding passes. The best part was the adooorabble drug puppy that a guard was leading around. He had a little vest with an official logo and ev…

I've been to Bocas del Toro twice. The first time was a short (5-day) trip to the Bocas del Toro islands of Panama. I was living in Costa Rica at the time and had to do a 'visa run', so I crossed over into Panama and spent some time in Bocas del Toro. The second time, in 2006, I was staying in Panama City for a month, so I went back to Bocas for a few days. These pictures are a combination of both trips.

Well. How life takes interesting twists and turns. I knew that it was holiday week here. No lie. Holiday week - well almost. Monday they celebrated independence from Colombia and I think soon they will celebrate independence from Spain. I thought that if I took the bus on Sunday I would avoid the t…

I've added these few pics about my country so everybody could see a little about my homeland, enjoy!

Today I took a tour which included watching dolphins frolicking in the ocean, seeing fish while snorkeling and swimming at Red Frog Beach. The tour, which is by boat (it´s a major form of transportation here), left around 9:30. There were about 15 people inlcuding an Australian couple, a fren…

My vacation to Costa Rica in the raining season. We were also a few days in Panama. I travelled in a group with 25 persons. I loved it !! About the speed in Costa Rica and Panama: someone told me there that you have slow, than slower, then slowest. After that you get Costa Rica and finally Panama. ;)))

Hola todos! Op mijn laatste dag in Panama dus maar weer achter de computer gekropen om weer een verhaaltje te vertellen! Totaal bijna 3 weken in Panama geweest, iets langer dan de geplande 2 weken! We hebben echt heel veel gedaan en gezien, conclusie: Panama is feest, relaxen, heet en pracht…
