Finca Los Monos (tel. 757-9461, cell 6729-9943, US$10 pp) is a 23-acre tropical garden just north of the isthmus that separates Bocas town from the larger part of Isla Colón. Tours of the garden are given 1 P.M. Monday and 8:30 A.M. Friday, or by appointment. It’s beautiful, with carefully tended grounds. Howler monkeys, sloths, and lots of birds also like to visit the garden.
Getting to Finca Los Monos
The turnoff is on the left between the Smithsonian and the i-griega intersection. It’s close to town, a short bike ride away. It should be possible to get a taxi from Bocas town for around US$1. Bring binoculars and sturdy footwear.
