Toboga and Porto Bello Echo History and Restful Tropics
The article tours Toboga island’s sanatoriums and beaches as a restful retreat for canal workers and visitors, notes its flora, birds, and old bathing pools, and recounts historical ties from 1852 to deeds by U S Grant. It then chronicles Porto Bello’s fortifications, Drake and Morgan sieges, and its decline amid a booming once bustling harbor trade.
