New York - Panama - Taborcillo

Day 4

The private island Taborcillo - island round trip Taborcillo, the small pacific private island with white sandy beaches, old mango trees and enchanting flora and fauna, is the home of many exotic birds which have chosen the south of the island to their nest site. With some luck you can observe a quite special spectacle of nature: Our special “Turtles breeding program” will give you the opportunity to observe the "Cahuamas" (turtles) putting their eggs in the sand or to watch the fresh-slipped very closely playing in the water. The western city which was established to the former island owner and western hero John Wayne makes you straight away in your banish. Finally with the boat trip around the island you can discover many different kinds of birds and iguana and marvel at. *Overnight on the private island Taborcillo, (B/L/D)
