Bocas del Toro
A Caribbean archipelago reached by water taxi between islands rather than roads, surf breaks and sloth sanctuaries within the same short boat ride, and a laid-back backpacker energy the mainland does not quite have.
The best time to visit Bocas del Toro is Feb–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 28°C (82°F). Local time there is 06:14 (UTC-5).
