There is also a large indigenous Indian population. All people speak Spanish but many also speak English and the pace of life is slow and easy. The name Boca Del Toro means the mouth of the bull in Spanish and is so name because of the shape of the island. There are many surrounding islands, some of which are inhabited by indigenous Indians while others are lush green, uninhabited rain forest. There is a great deal of beautiful places to snorkel or scuba dive.
Day trips out to the islands and nearby reefs are very inexpensive.
