About this site
Jicaron Island sits off the southwest coast of Panama, within Coiba National Park in the Gulf of Chiriqui. This remote park is known for its marine biodiversity and is reached mainly by boat from Coiba island or the mainland town of Puerto Mutis, given the distance and limited access to the outer islands.
