The Bocas del Toro archipelago is rich in Afro-Caribbean, American, Spanish and indigenous cultures. The Caribbean`s food reflects a deliciously vibrant mixture of these influences. Unlike the majority of Panamanian dishes, spices play a bigger part will in Panama`s Caribbean cuisine, as evidenced by the use of jerk sauces, curry flavors and cilantro. While Panamanian cuisine on the whole can become pretty repetitive, cuisine in Bocas will keep you pleasantly surprised. You can expect to see dishes like "corbina con arroz" (sea bass with rice) and "arroz con coco y frijoles" (coconut rice with beans) - a very typical Bocas dish. You`ll also see "pargo" (snapper) cooked Caribbean style with onion and sweet garlic; patacones (pressed and fried yucca); the very rich Jamaican dish of "rondon", a soup which includes fish, coconut milk and Caribbean vegetables; and other seafood-based dishes. To be sure, Caribbean food is delicious, but, for conservation reasons, I highly recommend not trying any dish involving turtles or turtle eggs. | | | Can I exchange my money in the banks?? Yes, Panama banks will exchange all major currencies. You have to bring your passport and tourist card. The best is to exchange the euro to USD before entering Panama to save money. You can always get a better exchange at any EU country. It is also better not to bring to much cash as all major credit cards are accepted across the country. | | | What is a “cuara” in Panama, is it some kind of money?? A %u201Ccuara%u201D is the butchering of the English word %u201Cquarter%u201D. Because Panama recognizes the US dollar as its currency, a cuara equals $0.25. It`s hard to believe, but in some places, like the food stands of Caledonia, you can still get a typical dish of food in Panama for a %u201Ccuara%u201D. Or, maybe you heard this word in context with the Panamanian project %u201CDona tu cuara%u201D? This is an organization which raises funds by asking businesses to %u201CDonate your Quarter%u201D. |
