The church in the plaza is the second oldest structure in the western hemisphere, the oldest structure being in the Zona Colonial of Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic. The age of the Taboga Island church, see photo, gives us some indication of the rich history of the island. The Town of Taboga on the North Shore of the island. The opposite side of the island along with the nearby island of Uraba are an ecological refuge for the worlds largest colony of Brown Pelicans. Whales swim in the waters around the island.
Diving is excellent, fishing superb.
These are some questions we are going to be answering as we look at Taboga closely over the coming months. Part of the reason is the great destination Taboga is and the other is Charlie McElroy. Charlie is the new editor of the Escape From America Magazine. After four years of running the website and two years of editing the magazine I decided it was time for some fresh blood. Charlie certainly has the credentials.
