Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Coiba National Park, located in the Gulf of Chiriquí, is Panama's largest marine park, encompassing over 430,000 acres. The park consists of Coiba Island, the largest island, and 37 smaller islands. It boasts a remarkably diverse range of flora and fauna, with many species found nowhere else on Earth. As a former penal colony, Coiba has had limited human impact, allowing its ecosystems to thrive. The park offers incredible opportunities for diving, where visitors can encounter a wealth of marine life, including whale sharks, manta rays, and humpback whales. Its terrestrial landscape is covered with rainforests that house species such as scarlet macaws and howler monkeys. Coiba's rich history, combined with its vibrant ecosystems and recreational opportunities, makes it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts.
