Gobernadora is a small island south of Veraguas, Cebaco neighboring island with a beautiful little town is a place of nature and unique beauty where flora and fauna invite visitors to live an experience of relaxation, peacefulness and appreciate the deep nature.
The island is often skipped over by travelers, but it’s a pretty little place that offers secluded white-sand beaches and a densely forested mainland.
Gobernadora is at the mouth of the Gulf of Montijo, in a place of calm waters where dolphins frolic at will and humpback whales around its shores, lost at times between the deep blue sea green velvet, to the delight eyes those few patients exercise to contemplate. It is located just north of Cebaco Island, between the wetland of international importance Gulf of Montijo and the Coiba National Park, which is part of the “buffer zone”.
The island is in contrast to our hectic city life, as there are no roads, cars or motorbikes. This small island of only 8 km2, the beaches of gray and white sand lapped by crystal clear freshwater sources, found its harmony in the midst of the prevailing rocky landscapes and mangroves.
