A small Caribbean island just off Panama's Costa Arriba, reached by a five-minute water taxi from the village of La Guaira. Palm-lined beaches, a walk-up lighthouse built by the French, and a relaxed Afro-Caribbean congo culture set the pace. It pairs naturally with a stop at the colonial forts of nearby Portobelo.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
