So you're planning your trip to Bocas Del Toro and don't know where to begin. There are so many places to stay it can be overwhelming trying to decide what's best for you, especially if you've never been there before. Well, I have some good news for you, I've been there and with a little help from my friends I've got the ultimate guide on choosing the best hostel possible!
There is a place in the forest in Panama that everyone who has visited has fallen in love with, and everyone who didn't go wishes they had, and it is called The Lost and Found Lodge.
I stepped off of a yellow school bus into the city center of Boquete and looked around at the new atmosphere. Very different from the hot islands of Bocas Del Toro I had come from, I was in 60-degree weather with mountains in sight. As I stepped off my bus I caught a glimpse of Hostel Mamallena right in front of me which is where I was headed to ask about their shuttle and sign up to do the overnight hike up Volcan Baru.
In the spirit of being grateful I am writing a thank you letter to all the people I met on my backpacking trip in Central America. To anyone that lent me a helping hand, gave me any advice that made my journey a little bit easier, to everyone who inspired me, and to anyone I shared an experience with that I will never forget...
Walking to my hostel in Bocas Del Toro, I came across a wooden sign that said, “Night Tours! Ask Inside!” I kept walking as I thought about what an interesting concept it was, something I hadn’t seen in the other places I’d visited...
My first morning in Puerto Viejo I woke up around 6:00 AM (8:00 AM back home) and the first thing I did was walk directly out the back to look at the ocean. It was so beautiful, I couldn’t believe...
I woke up the morning of my trip full of excitement and energy. Despite the fact that it was 5:30 AM, I was blissfully unaware of how long the day of traveling ahead of me was really going to be. I knew I had a long way to go, but I didn’t understand the reality of the fact...
So, you want to go to Bocas Del Toro, but don’t know what to do when you get there? Well, I just got back from Bocas and will give you my ultimate guide to the best things to do there all week (or weekend) and the heads up on what places are going strong!
