Note: Effective March 16, the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute will temporarily close to all visitors to support the effort to contain the spread of COVID-19.
The Smithsonian's priority is to protect the safety and health of its staff, volunteers, and visitors. All general public visits to Barro Colorado Island, Punta Culebra Nature Center, Bocas del Toro Station, Tupper Center Library and Punta Galeta are suspended until further notice. We thank you for your understanding and look forward to welcoming visitors on a future date.
