Connected to the rest of Isla Colón by a narrow causeway, the provincial capital of
BOCAS DEL TORO
is by far the best base from which to explore the islands, beaches and reefs of the archipelago, and also a charming place in its own right, with rickety wooden buildings painted in faded pastels, and a friendly and laid-back English-speaking population. There's nothing much to see, but that's hardly a problem - after a hard day in the sea and sun there's no better place to chill out with a cool drink, while the sun sets behind the forest-covered mountains of the mainland and the air fills with delicious cooking smells and the sound of calypso.
