Gulf of Chiriquí

The Gulf of Chiriquí also includes one of the most famous big game fishing areas, Hannibal Bank, located just 13 miles east of Isla Montuosa and 20 miles west of Coiba National Park.

Coiba National Park has gained World Heritage Site status.

Many give birth in the protected waters of Coiba National Park but can be seen by all nearby islands.

Panama's Tommy Guardia National Geographical Institute is charting the first interactive map for whale watching in Latin America to aid in collecting research and contributing to the protection and preservation of the endangered mammal.
