Bocas del Toro District, Administrative district on Caribbean coast, Panama.
The district encompasses multiple islands within the Caribbean Sea, featuring dense rainforests, mangroves, and coastal settlements across 433 square kilometers.
The district became an important administrative region after Panama's independence in 1903, gaining prominence through maritime trade and agricultural development.
Indigenous communities and Caribbean settlers have shaped the district's identity through traditional practices, dances, and local culinary methods.
Water taxis and small boats connect the different islands of the district, with regular services operating between the main settlements and neighboring areas.
The district contains five administrative subdivisions called corregimientos, each managing specific geographical zones and local governmental responsibilities.
