LUXURY TRAVEL PANAMA
Although Panama is a relatively young country, it quickly became famous for the incredible feat of engineering that is the Panama Canal, which radically changed world trade when it opened in 1914 and connected the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. In addition to the famed canal, this thin country that connects Central and South America also offers marvelous natural environments from lush rainforests to mountainous, green highlands to islands with white sand beaches and tranquil azure waters. In fact, more than half the country is covered in lush rainforest and is home to an impressive variety of species of flora and fauna.

PANAMA'S HIGHLIGHTS
PANAMA'S HIGHLIGHTS
Panama City
Emerging suddenly from a thick rainforest, Panama City offers both the man-made wonder that is the Panama canal as well as excellent opportunities to see the country’s diverse plant and animal life immediately outside of the city. In the heart of the old city, historic Casco Viejo features colorful colonial-era architecture that has been painstakingly restored and declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Travelers will have the opportunity to visit the famous canal with exclusive, private access to watch ships pass through the Miraflores Lock. Learn about this important isthmus from a biological perspective at the fascinating and unique BioMuseo, which was designed by acclaimed American architect Frank Gehry.
San Blas
Just off the coast of Panama is the stunning San Blas archipelago: a cluster of picture-perfect islands, home to white sand beaches with swaying coconut palms. The 365 islands are run by Panama’s indigenous Guna tribe, yet over 300 of them are uninhabited. Surrounded by crystal clear waters, the archipelago’s paradisiacal and remote setting is perfect for those who wish to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life. With your private luxury catamaran as your base, spend your days swimming in the crystal clear water, kayaking, fishing for your evening dinners, and learning about the culture of the native Guna people.
Pacific Coast
Panama’s Pacific coast is an ideal getaway for those who love to spend time on the water. This region is known for its world-class surfing, kayaking, snorkeling, and sportfishing. Fish frequently caught in the area include Tuna, Sailfish, Marlin, Wahoo, Grouper, and Snapper. Travelers can stay on a private island resort on picturesque Isla Palenque, home to an impressive variety of flora and fauna, including monkeys, coati and tropical birds, as well as untouched beaches and wilderness trails. On Islas Secas, guests can stay at a luxurious and eco-conscious private archipelago with ocean views, private plunge pools, tropical gardens and a wellness spa. On the Azuero Peninsula, guests can stay at a luxurious private estate located on a 1,200-acre jungle reserve with over two miles of beachfront. The property opens the door to an array of bespoke outdoor activities, including horseback riding, fishing, snorkeling, and wildlife encounters.
Chagres National Park
Just beyond Panama City, Chagres National Park offers a pristine escape into one of Central America’s most biodiverse rainforests. This vast protected reserve, stretching across more than 300,000 acres, provides the water that sustains both the Panama Canal and the capital city. Within its dense tropical forest live jaguars, howler monkeys, sloths, and hundreds of bird species that fill the canopy with color and song. Travelers can explore the park’s winding rivers by canoe or journey deep into the jungle to meet the Emberá Indigenous communities, who continue to preserve their ancestral traditions along the riverbanks. A visit to Chagres reveals Panama’s wild heart, where vibrant ecosystems and living culture intertwine beneath the emerald canopy.
Boquete
Set in the cool fertile highlands, Boquete is an ideal destination for hiking in the jungle and bird watching, as well as visiting coffee plantations. Hike along the Quetzal trail in Baru Volcano National Park to take in the tropical rainforest foliage and a myriad of bird species, including, of course, the Resplendent Quetzal. Visit a unique family-owned coffee “finca” or farm, where the coffee is hand-picked and mainly exported to Ecuador and the United States. Enjoy a tasting of some of the high-quality beans that will be roasted during your tour.
Darién National Park
Remote, untamed, and largely inaccessible, Darién National Park is Panama’s wildest frontier and one of the most remote and biodiverse regions in the Americas. Spanning dense lowland rainforest, cloud forest, mangroves, and winding rivers, this UNESCO-listed reserve straddles the border of Panama and Colombia and serves as a critical wildlife corridor. It is home to nearly 170 different species of mammals, including jaguars, bush dogs, monkeys, and tapirs, as well as an extraordinary array of amphibians and birds. As one of the country’s premier birdwatching regions, travelers can expect to see notable species like the vulnerable Great Curassow and the near-threatened Harpy Eagle. Travelers can journey deep into the forest on a day trip from Panama City by private plane, or enjoy longer stays in the luxury Canopy Camp. Alongside expert naturalists and birding specialists, visitors can experience close encounters with wildlife, an spend their days exploring by foot, vehicle, and traditional dugout canoe.
