ABOUT THE ISLAND OF CEBACO

Cébaco is an island located southwest of Panama, specifically south of the Gulf of Montijo, in the Pacific Ocean, south of the province of Veraguas and about 15 km west of the Azuero Peninsula. Administratively it is part of the district of Montijo. It has an area of 80 km² and is the third largest island in the country (surpassed only by Coiba and Isla del Rey).

Geographically, it has an elongated shape, between 2 and 5 km wide and 25 km long, extending from east to west. In the west are the highest elevations, highlighting the Cerro Chichica (349 m). The island has some geographic features such as Punta Surrones (extreme western point); Punta Chichica and Punta Puerto Hondo, on the southern coast; and Punta Campana (extreme eastern point).1

About 3 km northwest of Cébaco is the smaller Isla Gobernadora, where the town of Gobernadora, head of the Gobernadora district, to which Cébaco belongs, is located. Also west of Cébaco is Coiba Island, the largest island in the country.

On the island there is a small local population that is dedicated especially to fishing, although in recent years sport fishing, promoted by tourists, has been practiced in this area.
