Located in the Gulf of Chiriquí, Coiba
National Park is off Panama’s Pacific coast. Coiba
National Park (Nacional Parque Coiba) is a group of 38
islands including Coiba Island (Isla Coiba) and the
waters surrounding them and covers 430,825 acres.
Identified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2005,
Coiba National Park offers rich and well preserved natural
resources.
Because Isla Coiba served Panama as a penal colony, access
to the island was very restricted. Almost by accident,
80% of the islands natural resources have survived
untouched and flourished through limited human contact.
Just a few miles further west, a monstrous cliff soars
from thousands of feet below the ocean surface to plateau
within 120 feet to create the famed Hannibal Bank. This
edge between ocean environments offers one the most
productive oceanic fish habitats in the world.
Marlin exceeding 1000 pounds and clouds of 300 pound tuna
are known to lurk in the waters around Hannibal Bank.
A little further west and slightly north, Isla Montuosa
rises out of the water to offer some limited protection
for anchorage and another very productive fishery.

angler. The habitat, location and currents combine to

location and designation as a national park and World
