Getting ready for the next adventure - Bocas del Toro, Panama





For a few years now we been talking about going to the islands in Panama known as Bocas del Toro. It got our attention for many reasons, beaches, nature, rain forest, culture, snorkeling, surfing, and from what we have read a very laid back atmosphere which we love. The islands are located on the Caribbean side of Panama right at the border of Costa Rica and Panama. Since it is a rainforest it does rain most months. March has been said to be the sunniest. We will be finding out very soon if that holds true.



   We will be flying into Panama City and then transferring to another airport where we will take a small plane to Bocas del Toro. The flight is about 55 minutes.  



Our first few nights will be on the Isla Colon in the town of Bocas del Toro. We will be staying in a waterfront cabin at KoKo Resort. The resort got my attention for its location, owners, and unique description on its web page. 


After a few nights there we are going to the Isa Bastimentos where we are staying at two different places. The first place is Eclype de Mar Acqua Lodge in an over water bungalow. The lodge is Eco friendly and surrounded by 6.5 acres of rain forest. Lots of Nature. 


From there we stay on the Isa Bastimentos but move to the Red Frog Resort. We rented a Condo with private pool & a washer & dryer. Red Frog caught my attention for the beach and the rain forest that surrounds the area. 


At the end of the trip we fly back into Panama City for 1 night before returning home.

 Lots more to follow.
