Panama City – Bocas del Toro

🌆 Departure from Panama City

• Departure from Tocumen International Airport once again offered views of the Panama City skyline
• From above, the contrast between the modern skyscrapers and the historic Casco Viejo district really stands out
• The aircraft headed northwest over the Panama Canal – between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The lock system is clearly visible from the air
• Shortly after takeoff, the landscape starts to change – the city gives way to jungle and scattered hills

🌊 Flight along the Caribbean coast

• On the horizon, dense tropical forests and small islands lining the coast came into view
• The route led closely along the Caribbean coast of Panama, offering breathtaking views of turquoise waters and white sandy beaches
• Below the aircraft, mangrove forests, coral reefs, and small fishing villages alternated one after another

🌴 Arrival in Bocas del Toro

• The approach to the Bocas del Toro Archipelago continued over crystal-clear Caribbean waters and vast mangrove areas
• From above, numerous small islands, lagoons, and coral reefs typical of this region could be clearly seen
• The main island, Isla Colón, with the town of Bocas Town and BOC Airport, forms the central landing point
• Landing is conducted almost directly over the water – the short runway and open horizon make this one of the most impressive arrivals of the journey
• Bocas del Toro is the gateway to a Caribbean paradise – a tropical haven with a laid-back atmosphere, rich nature, and a strong influence of local Afro‑Caribbean communities
