Itinerary
Say "hola" to Panama! Transfer from Tocumen International Airport (PTY) to your resort in Panama City, then explore this city at your leisure.
Use your $5 Metro Card to get around today!
Visiting Panama City's Casco Viejo (Old Town) is a must-see experience during your trip. The city was the first European settlement along the Pacific and flourished for 150 years as a port city. Today, the Spani...
Enjoy the morning in Panama City then transfer 30 minutes to Gamboa Rainforest. This 55,000-acre ecosystem has been protected for almost a century as part of the Panama Canal Basin and has remained virtually untouched.
From your 5-star eco-lodge, you can explore all this region has to offer, from kayaking on the Panama Canal to rainforest hikes.
Today, use your included entrance ticket to the Gamboa Sloth Sanctuary!
Once your adventure in the rain forest comes to an end, the rest of the day is yours to spend however you'd like! Go for a hike, take a dip, paddle a kayak down the river - this is a great place to start checking items off your bucket list!
Today you will leave the Gamboa rainforest for Playa Bonita on Panama's Pacific coast. Check into your beachfront resort and enjoy the remainder of the day lounging on the sand!
With Playa Bonita's proximity to Panama City, take a day trip to the world-famous Panama Canal (extra cost). Miraflores Visitor Center is the ideal place to observe canal operations. From large balconies, you can watch as the lock gates open and close for ships to start or complete their journey through the Panama Canal.
Spend your last full day in Panama enjoying the great outdoors. Walk or bike the scenic Amador Causeway, a one-lane road that connects three islands. Nature enthusiasts can explore Punta Bruja Nature Reserve, fish off the islands of Las Perlas, or watch whales out in the Pacific.
Say "adios" to Panama as you transfer from Playa Bonita to Panama City airport. Grab a few souvenirs (a Panama hat, perhaps?) before flying home.
