Uros Floating Islands – Peru
Part of Peru, Uros is a small chain of islands that are truly treasures.

Constructed from reeds, there are over 40 islands in total and people actually live out on them year round.
Bastimentos – Panama
Part of the island chain known as Boccas del Toro, Bastimentos is exceptionally beautiful. Most of the island is dedicated to the Bastimentos Islands National Marine Park, so the forests and beaches here are left nearly untouched by man. The island is home to many unique species of animals and guests can stay in the amazing eco-lodges on the edge of the park or stay in a few luxury hotels a little further away.

While Isabela Island is part of Ecuador, it isn’t very close to the country since it is in the Galapagos. Despite being far away from the rest of the world, Isabela Island is extremely unique and beautiful and home to many species of animals and plants that aren’t found anywhere else. The island is also a popular destination for divers as there are many amazing reefs to explore.
