Isla Grande, The Ultimate Atlantic Experience

Isla-grande-colon

 Isla Grande, Colon Panama is about 45 minutes from Panama City. Taking a right turn
on Ray Grocer Store from the main high-way.  About 25 minute drive and  after passing 
several historical towns,  a quick right into a parking area get you prepared for a interesting
trip.
Boats such as those seen in this photo are ready and willing to take you to the beautiful
Island for less than 5 dollars.   The experience of Isla Grande begins right from the moment
you step into these micro-bus boats.
The latin hospitality is deep routed into the people living around the island and you can feel
right home.
I will explain more with photos and words in the next report
