PHOTOS: The archipelago of Bocas del Toro

Bocas del Toro is a scattering of seven big islands and more than 200 islets off the northwestern coast of Panama. This place is your ultimate Caribbean dream in Panama and an easy flight from Panama City. If you have a lot of time on your hand you can also take a bus to Almirante and have a fun boat ride of some 20 minutes from there to the archipelago. You might even see dolphins around the boat! Bocas del Toro is easy to reach from Costa Rica too, with a very beautiful border crossing over the river Sixaola. Just fueling your travel itinerary in here.

I’ve been in Bocas several times, on several islands, and every time I got off the boat at Isla Colón I felt like stepping into a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’-like paradise, with always something new to discover. Whether you like snorkeling, deserted beaches, diving, starfish, sailing, coconuts, wildlife, exquisite food, party places, ultimate quietness; Bocas has some for everyone. Except if you hate sunshine.

The places below have been my favourite spots and moments in the archipelago. Click on the pictures to see where you can find them!
