You might continue your journey by choosing to spend time in the highlands, the Islands of the Caribbean Sea or enjoy the vast rain forests that are home to amazing flora and fauna., or experience diversified rich and vibrant indigenous cultures. Travel down the Azuera Peninsula, or travel up to the Chiriqui Highlands with its rugged mountains dotted with coffee fincas. The highlight of your trip would be your stay with us on the Pacific Side of Panama across the bay from the little authentic fishing village of Boca Chica. It is here that the clocks stand still. No chic shopping, no jumping night-life. No yellow arches ... experience the real Panama. Boca Chica is the gateway to the archipelago islands in the Gulfo of Chiriquí, a portion of which is home to the renowned Parque Nacional Marino Golfo de Chiriqui. Tropical islands, water sports and world-renowned deep-sea fishing await you here. Panama has its own currency called Balboa. The American Dollar has the identical value and is the accepted currency throughout Panama. THE PATH IS THE GOAL: It is in this little fishing village of Boca Chica on the Pacific Ocean where your off-shore adventure starts. You will transfer to the island of Boca Brava where we invite you to join us at our home " Isla Bambu" - your personal holiday address for a luxurious corner of peace and paradise. You can either take one of the local fishing boats directly from Boca Chica to the estate's private, new dock which includes a remote-controlled platform or you can cross for a 4-minute boat-ride to the Boca Brava dock. We will then pick you up. It is an 8-minute ride through this lush island with its thick jungle, forest landscape. You will pass some of the indigenous families - members of the Indian tribe Ngobe-Bugle, who work on the island Fincas. During your stay, you will witness an abundance of wild-life and be greeted by a chorus of howler-monkeys and a medley of some of the about 300 bird species who make Boca Brava their home. If you prefer to walk from the dock, it is only a beautiful 15-minute hike on a shaded road trail. Enjoy beautiful ocean-front water views from your private Studios by the pool or a jungle view from The Cottage. There are additional sleeping possibilities in the Sport Club House, if you have extended family traveling with you.
