These are The Lost Islands of Baru, first sighted by Balboa in 1513. Legend has it that Balboa's first view of the islands included the erupting 11,365 foot Volcan Baru in the Distance - a point that remains the highest in the republic. 

Still just as unspoiled as the day of Baru's first discovery by Europeans Baru is recognized by world cruising yachts as one of the most beautiful anchorages along the Pacific coast with good diving, friendly natives and awesome sunsets.
