COIBA A PARADISE HERE IN PANAMA
Come to visit Coiba Island
This park is located
south of the province of Veraguas. With a surface of 270,125 hectares (650,000
acres), this park protects three kinds of ecosystems: the island, the reef and
marine life. This park is a group of islands with Coiba being the biggest one
and Ranchería (Coibita), Jicarón, Jicarita, Afuerita, Canal de Afuera, Uvas,
Contreras and Brincanco islands (153,582 hectares or 370,000 acres) together
with some marine areas of 216,543 ha (520,000 acres). Which make this one of
the most extensive marine parks in the world.
Coiba itself, with 49,300 ha. (120,000 acres) is the largest island of the
American Pacific and because of its geographical isolation, a penal colony was
established here in 1910, which still exists today. Because of this situation,
the forest on the island has remained untouched.
