Extract from the Almirante Travel Guides:
From the village of Chiriqu, 14km east of David on the Interamericana, a spectacular road runs across the continental divide, crossing the Fortuna hydroelectric dam and through the pristine forests that protect its watershed, to the small town of
Chiriqu Grande
on the shore of the Laguna de Chiriqu. Until recently this was the end of the road and the jumping-off point for the islands, but in 2000 the road along the shore of the lagoon to Almirante was completed, linking the coastal banana strip around Changuinola to the rest of Panam for the first time. All boats to the islands now leave from Almirante, so there's no reason to stop in... read the whole Almirante Travel Guides...
