Boca Chica

Boca Chica is an administrative district in Chiriquí Province, Panama, situated in a coastal lowland setting. The area is defined by water and the blend of land and marine environments that shape its character.

Boca Chica was established as an administrative unit during Panama's reorganization of its governance structure into smaller districts. This restructuring took place in the early 2000s and created the administrative framework that exists today.

The people of Boca Chica shape their community through fishing and small farming, which define the daily rhythms of life in the area. These practices remain central to how locals view themselves and their place.

The area is accessible via regional roads connecting to larger centers in the province, with several places to stay nearby. Visit during the drier months when traveling through the area is easier and more comfortable.

The location serves as a gateway to nearby islands and marine settings, making these destinations reachable for visitors exploring from land. This proximity to island environments makes it a starting point for those interested in exploring water-based landscapes.
