Finca Los Monos/The Monkey Farm
Finca Los Monos is a privately funded garden on Isla Colon, the largest island in the enchanting archipelago of Bocas del Toro, on the Caribbean coast of the Republic of Panama. At 9.2 degrees north of the Equator, the islands enjoy a steady temperature of between 80 and 93 degrees (27 C – 33 C) all year round, with adequate rainfall to keep them lush and humid. A short 10 minute drive from Bocas Town, it is a great place to spend a morning or afternoon on tour learning about local wildlife and flora. The farm spans the island from coast to coast with stunning views, both eastward toward the archipelago of Bocas del Toro and westward toward the mountainous mainland, with the turquoise Caribbean in between. It’s a must visit while on your stay in Bocas!
Education is a primary goal at the Botanical Gardens. We work with a variety of students from the local college and other programs to ensure our messages about biodiversity, environmental awareness and sustainability are passed along. Below are some photos of different programs and students we have been lucky to work with.
