Boca Chica

Chiriquí

A small fishing village on the Gulf of Chiriquí: the gateway to the Gulf of Chiriquí Marine National Park.

Boca Chica is a town and corregimiento in the San Lorenzo district of Chiriquí province. It's a quiet fishing enclave on the Pacific coast, increasingly known as the launch point for exploring the Gulf of Chiriquí.

Gateway to the Gulf of Chiriquí

From its small pier, boats depart for the Gulf of Chiriquí Marine National Park, with its pristine islands, reefs, and crystal-clear waters. It's an ideal destination for sport fishing, snorkeling, and whale watching in season.

What to do

Rent a boat, visit islands like Bolaños or Parida, and enjoy a nearly untouched natural setting, far from mass tourism.
