About Gulf of Chiriqui

Boca Brava Island is located in the gulf of Chiriqui and it is part of the National Marine Park. This 3000-hectare lovely little island offers the visitor an unspoiled natural paradisiacal atmosphere with lots of hiking trails, white sand tropical beaches, and numerous wildlife. A great spot for birders and wildlife watching fans since it is home to hundreds of monkeys, nesting sea turtles and 280 types of birds.
The best option to stay in Boca Brava Island is Hotel Cala Mia, a romantic boutique hotel located on the tip of the island. This eco/resort consists of only 11 beautiful villas, each with its own thatched roof rancho overlooking the pristine Pacific ocean.
