Panama Dos and Don'ts

just a plane landing site, starting point to several islands of san blas archipelago. Robinson's place is fine, but bring lots of water and food, as they cook like hell. Or buy fresh lobsters from local fishermen and do your own thing. a botttle of good rum matches perfectly to coconut-water and a bonfire. a machete will help cutting the many coconuts you will find, but a good swiss knife does it as well.
The island offers nothing but mediocre snorkelling and sun-bathing. you can spot small barracudas.

They call the Holandes Cay "the Swimming Pool", and there is great snorkeling in relatively protected waters.

Great Vacation spot there is a ton of things one could do i recommend checking out the ruins that goes by the name of Panama viejo(Old Panama) its close to Tocumen Int Airport.

If you come from Costa Rica, I recommend to stay some days in Puerto Viejo, if you have time. Then take a local bus to Sixaola. On the Panama ground, don't belive the guys who want to sell you a ride to Almirante and the ferry ticket! Take a Taxi (about 5 US/Per) or a Bus if there are one to Changuinola and from there a boat to Bocas del Toro (7 US/Per). I prefer the nice tour through Jungle in a boat, than sitting more time in a bus/van!
