Sustainable Vacationing in Panama

If you are looking for a great eco-friendly spot to get off the grid, head straight to Bocas del Toro in Panama. On the island of Bastimento is the eco-friendly aqua lodge Eclypse del Mar. Each of the rooms are wooden huts built on stilts in the water with tropical fish and star fish right below the water's surface.
The electricity is solar powered and the water is filtered from a spring. Behind the main lodge is an amazing nature walk with sloth toe monkeys, exotic birds and their famous tiny red frogs.
