There are two dry seasons, February and March as well as September through October. The rainy season is the rest of the year but unlike inland locations it does not rain everyday. Although it can go many days in a row without raining, August and January can be very rainy months. Local Color Boca has a very Jamaican feel to it because during the late 19th century and early 20th many Jamaicans came to the southern cost of Costa Rica and northern Panama to work the banana plantations. 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 named because of the shape of the island.
