Changuinola

Discover the wonders of the capital of the province of Bocas del Toro. Enjoy the landscape of the thousands of banana plants planted in endless rows that make the view perfect and extraordinary. 

Transportation

Previously, boat trips were made to the popular tourist destination of Isla Colón, but now you must travel by bus to Almirante to cross. Today Air Panama offers flights to Changuinola and Isla Colón, so it is best to book direct if that is your final destination.

Changuinola is considered more of a business and commercial center than a tourist site.
