Wild Panama
Journey From the Canal to the Highlands and the Caribbean Coast on this Intimate, Expertly Guided Adventure
The emergence of the Isthmus of Panama over 300 million years ago remains one of the most significant events in the evolutionary history of the Western Hemisphere. This integral land bridge has allowed thousands of different species to migrate between North and South America and is home to a staggering array of unique wildlife, paralleled by few places on earth. Unlike other more touristed Latin American destinations, Panama’s dense rainforests, misty highlands and pristine beaches remain largely unspoiled. Join us on this genuine adventure to discover Wild Panama, the natural jewel in the heart of the Americas.

Important Information
Panama is one of Latin America’s most astounding natural treasures, home to a plethora of wildlife, yet its natural areas receive a fraction of the visitors neighboring Costa Rica gets. Panama’s highlands and jungle wilderness offer an unparalleled immersion in nature well off more touristed routes.
Getting There & Getting Home
You should plan to arrive in Panama City on Day 1 before 6 pm, in order to reach our hotel in time for a 7 pm orientation and welcome dinner.
