Bocas del Toro

Panama's Caribbean paradise: archipelagos of turquoise water, pristine beaches, and the country's most vibrant Afro-Caribbean culture.

Bocas del Toro is a province on Panama's Caribbean coast, made up of the archipelago of the same name, Almirante Bay, Chiriquí Lagoon, and a stretch of mainland. Its capital is the city of Bocas del Toro, on Colón Island.

An authentic Caribbean

With nine main islands and dozens of cays, Bocas del Toro is synonymous with turquoise water, mangroves, and tropical rainforest. Its blend of Afro-Caribbean, indigenous Ngäbe, and European cultures gives it a one-of-a-kind identity.
