Caribbean Vibes in Old Bank, Isla Bastimentos, Bocas del Toro

This home is located just a short walk up the hill from the main dock on Isla Bastimentos, only a 10 minute water-taxi ride from the town of Bocas. Old Bank is the second largest town in the Bocas del Toro archipelago, and it’s known for its cool Caribbean vibe. There are no roads, only a wide concrete path lined of both sides with colorfully painted wooden houses. The project called “Beautification of Afro-Caribbean architecture” is currently being developed by the Panamanian Foundation for Sustainable Tourism with the plan to improve the look of Old Bank town to make it even more attractive for tourists. This is the time to invest in this area before the prices increase. Purchase of this property qualifies you for Panamanian permanent residency!
