The story

Festival de Taboga in Taboga Island

Festival de Taboga celebrates the island community known as the Isla de las Flores, roughly 20 kilometers off Panama City in the Gulf of Panama, drawing on the island's long maritime history and near-year-round blooming vegetation for a small-town coastal celebration.

Taboga sits close enough to Panama City, about twenty kilometers offshore in the Gulf of Panama, that it has functioned for centuries as both a working maritime waypoint and a retreat from the capital.

01

The place changes

Taboga's popular nickname, Isla de las Flores, comes from vegetation that flowers across most of the year, and the island has a documented history stretching back to the earliest years of Spanish presence on the Pacific coast, with figures central to the conquest era, including expedition members connected to Vasco Nunez de Balboa and later Francisco Pizarro, recorded as having passed through

The mystery stays covered
