The Bocas del Toro table — what to order and where the locals point.
Rondón & rice-and-beans
Afro-Caribbean coconut cooking — the archipelago's mother recipes.
Fish tacos on the dock
Over-the-water kitchens grill the morning's catch.
Chocolate islands
Cacao farms on the mainland edge do bean-to-bar tours.
Patacones con todo
Panama's smashed-plantain habit, perfected beachside.
Filthy Friday note
The island-hopping bar crawl is Bocas' famous party — pace or abstain.
