Moving around the archipelago

Tranquilo Bay is located on Isla Bastimentos, Bocas del Toro, Republic of Panama. Most of the province of Bocas del Toro is an archipelago of over 60 islands. So getting around means traveling on boats. Planes land on the main island of Isla Colon. We transfer guests from Isla Colon over to Isla Bastimentos to stay with us here at Tranquilo Bay. All of the gear for the photo shoot was transferred by land. The van landed at La Escapa Eco - Lodge which is owned by our friends Ron and Kyleen. Our boats and staff met the crew which travelled with the gear in the van and moved them over to Isla Bastimentos. Some days it is sunny and super gorgeous. Some days it rains. We are in the middle of the rainforest, so it happens. You just have to be prepared. And we were.




This post is in our Behind the Scenes series for the Athleta Photo Shoot for their Summer 2010 catalogs shot here in Bocas del Toro in January 2010. It was both an honor and a lot of fun to be a part of this process.
