Bocas del Toro

Visit the archipelago, located at the entrance of Chiriquí Lagoon, and be amazed by its diversity of species, waterfowl, beaches and clear waters teeming jungles with all kinds of animals and plants. Bocas del Toro has nine islands, 52 keys and over 200 islands available to be explored.
The most important wave of migration into the region occurred during the nineteenth century when blacks from the Antilles and the Colombian islands of San Andres and Providencia arrived as slaves of wealthy landowners mingling with the natives and establishing small farming and fishing communities.
During the late nineteenth century, the rise of the banana industry began, with the establishment in the regions of the United Fruit Company. This activity quickly became the main source of the economy for this remote Panamanian province.
In this land of dreams come together, as if they were waves in the sea, various races, languages ​​and traditions. There is the Ngobe Bugle, the largest population group living in this province with three other minority groups. They speak Guarani, a peculiar mix of Afro Western Indian English, Ngobe indigenous language​​, Spanish and French words. This language is also spoken in Colon and Panama.
