Panama's most isolated province, Bocas del Toros (''mouths of the bull'') is a land of banana plantations and impenetrable rainforest with a sprinkling of pristine Caribbean islands scattered off its coast.

Located in Panama´s northeast, Bocas del Toros lies sandwiched between the Caribbean and the jungle-strewn mountains of the Cordillera Talamanca. It is only accessible by two roads - one from Costa Rica and the other which cuts over the slopes of Chiriqui province.

A chain of 400 mostly deserted coral atolls scattered in the Caribbean Sea, the San Blas Islands are part of an autonomous region owned and governed by the indigenous Kuna tribe.
