Starting in the 1600s, when the Spaniards discovered that the islands were rich in pearls, many politically important and wealthy people, as well as celebrities, continued to keep these islands on the map as a destination for the rich and famous. Nowadays it is still a location for several films and tv shows, it is not so uncommon to meet a crew shooting a movie on this semi-deserted island. We propose to take a break from the busy avenues of Panama city to deep your toes on the white sand of this paradise on the ocean.
