Eight miles or so from Bocastown, on the eastern shore of Isla Colón, Bluff is the loveliest beach on the island. Its wide, golden sand spreads three miles and is flanked by breaking waves on one side and a wall of lush jungle on the other.


La Gruta

Good God, Batman, it's La Gruta--the holy bat cave of Isla Colon!

If you haven’t waded through bat poop in awhile and miss it, you’ll want to check out La Gruta, a 100-meter-long cave near the center of Isla Colón. Dueling statues of the Virgin have been placed at the mouth of “La Gruta,” which is Spanish for “The Cave” (clever, huh?). Flowing past the statues is a small creek that exits the cave and contains more crap from the vampire bats that cling to the cold hole’s ceiling than you could possibly imagine.
