Panama

8th stop of my world trip

From Costa Rica we’ll take a short detour in Panama. Our trip in Panama starts in Boquete. This is a great place from where we can take hikes to the jungles and waterfalls of Chiriqui. After a two week stay we’re going to the islands of Bocas del Toro to relax and get amazed by the marine life. Then we’ll take the border on the Sixaola-Guabito International Bridge back to Costa Rica.
