The final day in Costa Rica I spent in Puerto Viejo. We biked from Puerto Viejo round to Punta Uva, eyes in the trees searching for those sloths again. And we were in luck!
Next morning I set off for Bocas del Toro, my first stop in Panama.
It’s a little collection of islands, not far at all from the Costa Rican border.
Unfortunately when we arrived it was a little wet.
We took the boat to the main island, Isla Colón, where we stayed for a couple of nights. We went to starfish beach where you can spot starfish on the shore just under the water. The next day we rented a kayak and went over to Isla Bastimentos. We’d been told there was a nice snorkel spot but we didn’t manage to locate it! We had a nice swim all the same and some amazing nachos!
In the evening we had arranged to do a wreck night dive. Such a nice dive and to top it off we spotted an octopus!
The next day we went to stay on Isla Bastimentos on Red Frog Beach.
Unfortunately no red frogs to be seen, just a lot of rain! Needless to say, Bocas has not been my favourite place so far!
