Resting on Panama’s exquisite Pacific coast, the Gulf of Chiriquí is the epitome of a remote, untouched paradise. It’s less developed than other parts of Panama, and it remains firmly off the regular tourist route. While the journey here may be a bit longer than to more trafficked destinations, travellers who make the effort will be greatly rewarded with well-preserved coral reefs, lush mangrove forests, and some pristine powder-white beaches. Add to this: two impressive marine parks, some ancient tropical forests, and dozens of uninhabited Pacific isles just waiting to be discovered and you have the ideal natural wonderland. Scuba, snorkel, swim or surf in the aquamarine waters, engage in world-class sportfishing or marvel at the abundance of exotic wildlife including dolphins, sea turtles, whales, and manta rays. Whether it’s sandy beaches, marine life, or the island lifestyle you’re after, you’ll find what you’re looking for in this extraordinarily idyllic getaway.
