Sometimes called the new Galapagos, Bocas del Toro is nothing short of a tropical paradise. Wildlife such as tropical birds, butterflies and red, yellow and orange frogs are abundant. Located on the southern tip of Isla Colon on the Northeast coast of Panama, this small fishing town is anything but sleepy. The most excitement comes when Bocas hosts the traditional Feria del Mar each year in late September/early October. The town is also a hub for cruises and ferries to nearby islands in the archipelago.
