Isla Taboga knows in Panama

Who wants to get lost in the last corner of the Caribbean Sea? An exotic destination, full of adventures, of sceneries of daydream, almost in the last corner of the ground, there where the pother of the cities has no capacity. All that and much more there is Isla Taboga, in Panama, famous for his beaches and for his calmness. And that that only is to twelve kilometers of the City of Panama.

In addition to his rest, Isla Taboga offers the richest cultural life. This island also is known as the Island of the Flowers, and lodges the beautiful Church of San Pedro, the most ancient second church of the western hemisphere. You can go for a swim contemplating the wonderful church, and the lights to the fund of Panama. We recommend to you, if you like diving, to reserve before your trip in any tourist information office of Panama a diving meeting in Taboga.

Ista Taboga is a place to disconnect completely of the worldly ruído. It is an island in which there are no cars, and sometimes, the only sound is that of the breeze and the roar of the waves. You can stay at the Hotel Tropical Path, placed on a hill, surrounded with bougainvillaeas flowers, and with excellently restaurants that it serves fresh seafood and the best conference of the island. The rooms of the hotel have beautiful conference to the sea, and the price is fantastic. The double room ranges between the 65 and 95 dollars in night.
Of course, Isla Taboga has not always been a calm island. In 1515 the Spanish conquerors came, and since then it was attacked also assiduously by the English pirates. Even the marina of the United States used the island com artillery practice during the Second World war. There can still be seen in the Hill of the Cross old godforsaken bunkers of the Second World war. Fortunately, today the island is a peace oasis.
