Overview & Highlights
A two-week holiday brimming with variety, from a trip on the Panama Canal to walks and coffee tours in the volcanic highlands, to relaxing on the pearl white beaches of Bocas del Toro.
This holiday introduces you to the extraordinary history of a country linking oceans, spanning cultures and hosting pathways for smuggled gold, we take you to visit some of nature’s most fecund forests, laden with ebullient wildlife and luscious plants.
Your first thoughts about Panama may envisage hats (actually from Ecuador) and a large, strategic canal. But that would be underestimating the unexpected charms and variety of this hilly Central American republic. Your trip with us will change your mind about that.
The capital city is one of the world’s most cosmopolitan, an eclectic mix of American, European and Asian influences forged by centuries of immigration while the palm-defined, pearl white beaches are undeveloped. The Panamanian people, relaxed and welcoming, will ensure you have an enriching holiday.
- Discover historic Panama City and its iconic canal
- Explore Boquete's cloud forest
- Relax in the clear blue waters of the Bocas del Toro islands
- Go wildlife spotting on Lake Gatun
