Bahia Honda is a community located at the heart of a bay, between the islands of Bastimentos and Solarte. Their houses are distributed along the coasts of both islands, not showing the typical image of the other communities of the region.
What we could consider the core of the village, on the Bastimentos Island, consists of a communal house, the primary school, the student's lunch room and a cozy restaurant, that offers to the visitors typical meals of the region as well as beautiful handicrafts.
The main occupations of their inhabitants are subsistence fishing and agriculture, being the tourism an activity that have being increasing lately.
The project, TIMOROGO, groups several families of the community to handled the restaurant and a tour that became one of the main attractions of the islands, the "Sloth's Trail".
In order to arrive at Bahia Honda, call the Timorogo's phone to be pickedup or hire a boat in Bocas del Toro and after about 10 minutes of navigation you will be at the community restaurant where the visitor can make arrangements for a guided visit to the trail.
