But as usual, with Bocas del Toro we found an amazing place yet again! Here are some more Bocas vibes for you (and please reply with more photos if you were there). 🧵 https://s3.kosmos.social/media_attachments/files/113/985/869/754/130/507/original/aa38666cba4571a7.jpg https://s3.kosmos.social/media_attachments/files/113/985/872/856/213/927/original/0b9803dae76c405b.jpg https://s3.kosmos.social/media_attachments/files/113/985/874/686/727/816/original/a346d332624c3f2b.jpg https://s3.kosmos.social/media_attachments/files/113/985/877/133/738/289/original/8b0d8f77c6988f2f.jpg npub1pcz5t5chmv3kctpfzfdauwvt3nuszfcft867hp3azavu2hwav9ksy70utg Hacker Beach Bocas vibes: https://s3.kosmos.social/media_attachments/files/113/828/645/086/852/681/original/5aa9bf1dd37390a0.jpg https://s3.kosmos.social/media_attachments/files/113/828/646/826/453/148/original/d9fa0550f1e1adb9.jpg https://s3.kosmos.social/media_attachments/files/113/828/649/703/837/366/original/6a1d5b44d666d87e.jpg https://s3.kosmos.social/media_attachments/files/113/828/651/948/332/623/original/b04bcefe093159c2.jpg npub1pcz5t5chmv3kctpfzfdauwvt3nuszfcft867hp3azavu2hwav9ksy70utg Hacker Beach Since we failed to post a full announcement with more details, we're going to post some important bits here now. The first one is that in order to fly to the Bocas del Toro airport (BOC), it's usually best to book a ticket to Panama City (PTY), and then book a *separate ticket* on either Air Panama or Flytrip from the local Albrook Airport (PAC) to BOC, directly on those airlines' websites. The only other route to BOC seems to be flying with Sansa from San José in Costa Rica. npub1pcz5t5chmv3kctpfzfdauwvt3nuszfcft867hp3azavu2hwav9ksy70utg Hacker Beach More flights confirmed.
