Panama City To Cartagena Luxury Tours

The following day, start your exploration of Panama’s capital with a visit to the innovative biodiversity museum designed by “starchitect” Frank Gehry, and learn more about the country’s status as one of the most biodiverse places in the world. Later, enjoy an exclusive VIP tour of the Panama Canal where you’ll get a hands-on feel for the canal’s history, economic importance, and engineering brilliance. Explore the canal’s head administrative building and the old barracks before enjoying exclusive access to view the ships up close as they sail through the Miraflores lock. For an additional insider experience, you may opt for a partial crossing of the Panama Canal in your own private yacht and accompanied by an expert engineer who will explain the canal’s history and intricate workings.

The following day, depart for the Chagres National Park, which is known for its rich biodiversity and high number of endangered species. Here, you’ll glide along Lake Alajuela in a traditional canoe, and head into the jungle to meet members of the Emberá indigenous community. Known as the Guardians of the Panama Canal Jungle, the Emberá people will open your eyes to their culture and traditions, sharing stories, dances, crafts and traditional food. Return to the city and savor a delicious meal at one of the top restaurants in the area.

The next day, wander the charming streets of the Getsemani neighborhood and take in the area’s colorful street art. Then, continue your exploration of Colombian culture by visiting local artisan workshops to learn about their handicrafts. Return to your hotel to relax at leisure before enjoying a private salsa class in a privately-owned 16th-century home. Salsa is an important part of Colombian culture, and this immersive experience allows you to learn the rhythms from professional dancers. You’ll also have the opportunity to practice your newfound salsa skills in a Colombian salsa club later in the evening.

The next day, embark on an all-day boating adventure to discover the other islands in the Rosario archipelago. Made up of 30 idyllic isles, Blue Parallel has selected the most spectacular deserted and uncharted islands known only to local fishermen. Relax onboard your vessel and swim or snorkel alongside teeming schools of fish and bright coral reefs. Return to your resort in the evening to savor dinner at the property.

On the last day of your private journey to Panama and Colombia, depart by private transfer for the airport for your international departure flight back home.
