We start in Panama City, the cosmopolitan capital that is both a gateway to Panama’s splendid natural spaces and a destination in its own right. Through privately guided tours, you’ll develop an appreciation for the engineering marvel that is the Panama Canal and the historical forces that shaped the city from its colonial heart: charming Casco Viejo.

Next, head west to Boquete and deep into Panama’s wilderness for an exhilarating selection of adventures that showcase the beauty of the fabled Chiriquí Highlands. First, greet Baru Volcano – Panama’s largest – on a full-day tour that begins with one of the most impressive sunrises you’ll ever see, then navigate the rapids of Rio Chiriqui Viejo on a novice-friendly whitewater-rafting adventure through dense jungle.

Later, leave the mountains behind and set out for the shores of the Caribbean for some well-earned rest and relaxation at picture-perfect Isla Bastimentos. Once visited by Christopher Columbus himself in 1502, this idyllic island paradise boasts hiking trails, mangrove forests, and – perhaps most importantly – white-sand beaches.
