Playa Tortuga, Panama
Bocas del Toro province is a haven full of colourful ecosystems and biodiversity. A nature lover’s dream, Bocas del Toro has it all. Luscious rainforests turn into mangrove forests before meeting the sandy beaches and sparkling azure waters, and the humming capital of Bocas Town is just five minutes away from Playa Tortuga Hotel & Beach Resort. The tropical rainforests are primitive, recalling an untamed time gone by, and their beauty is breathtaking – colourful flora and luscious tropical trees are home to a variety of bird species, from blue-headed parrots, and band-tailed barb throats, to laughing gulls and three-wattled bellbirds. These forests are also home to sloths, bats, night monkeys and the famous poisonous dart frog.
The incredible biodiversity is also visible on the beaches and in the waters, 95% of the Caribbean coral species are found around Bocas del Toro. 4 species of marine turtle make their way to the beaches every year to nest, and Bocas del Toro is home to the Mission Blue Hope Spot; a programme which focuses on the rehabilitation of the local marine species.
