Isla Iguana

Isla Iguana, a component of the Isla Iguana Wildlife Refuge, is located just a few kilometers off the coast of the Azuero Peninsula in southern Panama. The majority of tourists to Isla Iguana arrive by boat for a day trip, and the island offers plenty to see, do, and explore. There are approximately 200 species of fish to be found on a vast and mature coral reef, which makes for wonderful snorkeling. Humpback whales, moray eels, and octopus may be seen by scuba divers who venture away from the coast. Birdwatching is popular on Isla Iguana, thanks to a big frigate population in particular.

Native animals include crabs (among them hermit crabs), black and green iguanas, boa constrictors, and red throated frigates. It is a vital nesting ground for several species of frigate as well as sea turtles.

Location: on the Azuero Peninsula in Panama.
