Overview
Theme: Culture + Island Nature
Panama is far more than just a canal — it’s a country where cloud forests meet Caribbean reefs, and indigenous Guna Yala island life thrives just offshore. This itinerary begins in the lush highlands of Boquete with its coffee farms and waterfalls, and ends among the thatched-roof huts and turquoise waters of the San Blas Islands — owned and protected by the Guna people.
