The story

Festival de Isla Taboga in Taboga Island

Festival de Isla Taboga celebrates the flower-covered island a short ferry ride from Panama City, centered on the island's mid-July patronal devotion to the Virgen del Carmen, patron of fishermen and sailors, and its colonial-era church, among the oldest in the Western Hemisphere.

Taboga Island sits close enough to Panama City that its silhouette is visible from the capital's waterfront, yet its pace and character belong to an entirely different Panama.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Taboga's San Pedro church dates to the early Spanish colonial period, making it one of the oldest churches in the Americas, and the island's patronal festival for the Virgen del Carmen traditionally includes a boat procession around the island, linking Catholic devotion directly to the fishing economy that has long sustained the community

02

The mystery stays covered

Taboga's flower-lined, largely car-free streets give the celebration an intimate, small-town character despite sitting barely half an hour by boat from a capital city of roughly two million people
