“Looking for the next Costa Rica? Just head down the coast a few miles to Panama and the Isla Bastimentos, part of the Bocas del Toro archipelago in the Caribbean Sea, a 20-square-mile island that’s a microcosm of some of Panama’s top tourism offerings. Here you’ll find virgin rainforests home to sloths and monkeys, offshore coral gardens and mangrove islands perfect for snorkeling, and stunning beaches pounded by Hawaii-sized waves.” –USA Today, 2009
Unconventional and Unique, the Bocas Bound community is based on people coming together under the canopy of a living rainforest to experience nature and relax on the beach. This place is at the very heart of Bocas’ island spirit. Whether it’s the melody of the native jungle or pulse of the breaking waves, people make their way to Bocas Bound for different reasons. Once here, you will realize – this is a special place.
