Panama is a still hidden gem with more bird species than the entire continental USA and miles of pristine protected coastline. It receives fewer visitors than neighboring countries: thus it is possible to feel that you have truly gotten off the beaten track here. With a stable government, US currency, and diverse ecosystems Panama is both easy and exciting to explore. We'll spend nine days exploring this beautiful country, from Panama Canal to the beaches of Bocas.

Think Panama and what springs to mind? The canal? Cigars and straw hats? Beautiful beaches? Probably all of that and more. This lovely Central American nation is much more than that. It’s a land of wildlife, rich rainforests, remote indigenous communities, paradise-like beaches, and verdant volcanoes. It has an unspoiled nature and a mostly non-touristy vibe without the crowds.
