Panamá/Costa Rica Border
Here are a few tips that might make your crossing a little smoother.
Öribë Chocolate Farm, Panamá
Öribë Co-op operates from a 600 person Ngöbe native village where 30 families tend the 100% organic cocoa production.
Bocas del Toro, Panamá (Part 2)
Bocas Town on Colon island is the commercial hub of the area, buzzing day and night with visitors and locals alike, as well as an impressive range of accommodations, restaurants and nightlife.
Polo's Beach, Panamá
One day while staying on Bastimentos Island in the Bocas del Toro area of Panamà, Julie and I set out in search of a local legend.
Bocas del Toro, Panamá (Part 1)
I have a thing for islands. There is something about the isolation that preserves a sort of microcosm, in a way the mainland cannot. The Bocas del Toro archipelago sounded like the ideal place to taste Panamanian island life.
Boquete, Panamá
My best girl, Julie, was spending some quality time in Central America so I couldn't resist the opportunity to join her (plus we've never travelled together, whaaa?).
Packing for Panama
