Bocas del Toro is an archipelago of 200 islands and islets on the west side of Panama. Boats are the way, the main way, to get around between the islands, to grocery shop or get to work.
We talk about the two main boat types that make life possible here for the locals and tourists.
Teenage kids paddling a long cauyco in the evening
We are heading to town in the archipelago version of traffic
A local expert paddler zooming by on the way to his home
Panga dock operated by local boteros
Fast panga heading from the island to Almirante on the mainland
Boats two-deep force a driver to thread the panga through a narrow opening - not a problem whatsoever
A podcast about travel, sailing, and adventure. Alex and I banter about what happened on our travels over the last week. We talk about places we visited, curiosities that we have seen, and people who we met along the way. We also invite people to join our chat and tell us about their adventures.
