The fairy chimneys and rock formations are impressive, but in photos they tend to come off looking a lot like… well, Utah. And Arizona. And the American southwest in general.

I’ve really struggled with how to put our thoughts on Bocas del Toro into words. The truth is, blogging about destinations is much easier when we fall in love with them–it’s a far simpler task to rave about a place than it is to discuss…
