A little hidden paradise for surfers, while it is also the best place to go to if you want to access the island of Coiba for its great dive spots and beautiful flora and fauna. Waves for beginners and riptides for advanced surfers, you might dive into a school of big fish with a oxygen […]

Renate Rigters | That Wanderlust — Tue, 05 Apr 2016 12:00:51 +0000

I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew I wanted to go there. Being there meant that I could finally understand the lyrics of an old Dutch children’s song from “kinderen voor kinderen” called op een onbewoond eiland. They sing about life on a uninhabited island and it’s one of my favorites kids songs. […]
