Coconut water or as we call it here in Bocas del Toro
Panama - Agua de pipa is the liquid inside young
coconuts. As the green coconut matures into the brown
coconut one eats, this liquid is partially absorbed
into the flesh.
Agua de pipa has long been a popular drink here in Panama. Coconut water is naturally fat-free and low calorie (46 calories per 8 ounces).
You can buy agua de pipa that has been freshly packaged in many places here in Panama. Outside of the tropical environs you can buy coconut water in cans or tetra paks. Coconut water is often marketed as a sports drink because of its high potassium and mineral content.
In Bocas del Toro Panama you can get coconut water in the most sustainable packaging there is – the coconut. Once you let us know you are interested we will have one of our employees get you a fresh coconut and you can watch how the indigenous people prepare a coconut for drinking and eating.
In emergency situations coconut water has been used as a liquid in intravenous therapy due to its sterility, pH, mineral, and sugar content.
Doctors here in Panama often recommend it for dehydration therapy as it is a natural form of electrolyte replacement.

History of these Panama Islands
Thursday, October 11, 2007
The province of Bocas del Toro, Panama is located on
the western part of Panama only miles from the Republic
of Costa Rica. The province includes an archipelago of
some 68 tropical islands. The islands of Bocas del Toro
Panama have been called the Galapagos of the Caribbean.
This archipelago has an incredible combination of
historical and cultural traditions, with a great
variety of aquatic species, coral reefs, mangroves,
beaches with crystal clear water and undisturbed
jungles with tons of flora and fauna.
So far, the most famous visitor to this piece of paradise was the Admiral Christopher Columbus on October 6, 1502 on his fourth and last trip to the Americas. He entered with two vessels into a wide bay, now called Almirante Bay, took in provisions on the present Isla Bastimentos and careened a ship in the vicinity of Carenero Island.
Since Columbus the province has gone through several rounds of colonization. In the 19th century immigrants arrived from Jamaica and several islands in the West Indies. United Fruit Company began operations in the province in the 20th century. They established towns on the mainland and on several islands in the archipelago.
Some time in the 1990’s expatriates found the sleepy archipelago and began its current round of colonization.
