REVIEWS

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.

Day 1: Panama City, Panama

Arrive in Panama City and transfer to our hotel. We will gather this evening for a welcome dinner.

Day 2: Volcan / La Amistad / Finca Dracula

This morning, fly to the Chiriquí Highlands, where farms flourish in the rich volcanic soil and we’re surrounded by fields of strawberries, potatoes and flowers. We visit La Amistad Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that boasts a greater diversity of North and South American flora and fauna than any other point on the isthmus. Search the cloud forest for silver-throated jays, prong-billed barbets, and buffy tuftedcheeks. We may even encounter the stunning and elusive resplendent quetzal. This afternoon, wander among over 1,200 species of orchids, including several species that are already extinct in the wild, at the famed orchid farm of
Finca Dracula.

Lodging

Hotel Casa Grande Bambito

Description

Casa Grande Bambito is nestled in Panama’s mountainous highland region, where the rainforest, natural springs, volcanic rock structures and beautiful natural surroundings offer a welcome retreat. Well-appointed rooms provide all the modern comforts while the natural spa offers thermal baths, massage and a variety of rejuvenating therapies to soothe the soul. You’ll also find a fine dining restaurant and access to a complete selection of outdoor activities, all set in the shadow of Barú Volcano.

Day 3: Sitio Barriles / Boquete

Enjoy a fascinating visit to Sitio Barriles, an archaeological site on the slopes of the dormant Barú Volcano. Ancient carvings, ceramics and stone artifacts offer clues about the culture and history of the extinct Barril people. After lunch we drive to the picturesque highland town of Boquete, located on the eastern side of Barú Volcano. Some of the planet’s finest coffee is produced in this region, which we will have a chance to sample.

Lodging

Finca Lérida Eco Lodge

Description

Located on an exclusive private nature reserve in the Boquete highlands, Finca Lérida offers access to a pristine habitat for flora and fauna that has been a long-time favorite for birdwatchers; the quetzal is a must-see here! Set within a traditional coffee farm, eco-lodge guests enjoy expansive scenery and lovely gardens. Immerse yourself by exploring the surrounding trails on foot or soak it all in from the privacy of your own porch.

Day 4: Finca Lerida

Today we’ll explore the lush, private forests of Finca Lerida, located just outside Barú Volcano National Park. At an elevation of 6,500 feet, its highland trails provide us with our second opportunity to search for the resplendent quetzal. We may also discover a host of other birdlife, including the three-wattled bellbird, volcano hummingbird and long-tailed silky-flycatcher.

Lodging

Finca Lérida Eco Lodge

Description

Days 5 & 6: Bocas del Toro / Bastimentos Marine National Park

Today we cross the Talamanca Continental Divide and descend 7,000 feet to the archipelago of Bocas del Toro. Here we enjoy boat excursions to rocky islands which may reveal bottlenose dolphins, red-billed tropic birds, brown boobies and magnificent frigates. Look for tiny poison dart frogs, hummingbirds and primates on nature hikes, snorkel and explore in Bastimentos Marine National Park.

Lodging

Laguna Azul Eco Lodge

Description

Set on the secluded shores of Isla Colon overlooking the Caribbean, Laguna Azul Eco Lodge’s six private rooms – each with its own balcony – afford our travelers a unique and personal coastal nature experience. The lodge is dedicated to providing an intimate connection to the natural world without sacrificing luxury. Even the lounge, deck and dining area are built out over the Caribbean seas, providing lovely breezes and ample space to soak in the sights and sounds of this peaceful coastal paradise.

Days 7 & 8: Gamboa Rainforest Resort / Soberania National Park

Fly to Panama City and transfer to Gamboa Rainforest Resort on the banks of the Rio Chagres. Here in Soberania National Park, we are surrounded by hundreds of bird species and 150 species of mammals. This renowned eco-resort offers an intimate jungle encounter in an unexpectedly luxurious setting. A boat cruise through a portion of the Panama Canal brings us close to a host of wildlife on the rainforest-draped islands in Gatun Lake. Back at the lodge there’s a chance to swim, kayak or indulge in the full-service spa. A visit to Pipeline Road, considered among the best birding spots in the world, may reveal toucans, black hawk-eagles, black-breasted puff-birds, blue cotingas, purple-throated fruitcrows, cinnamon becards, shining honeycreepers and a wide array of migrants. This area also boasts 150 species of mammals (including 14 endangered species), and 59 endemic plant species.

“I can not say enough good things about Rick. …Rick is a very engaging, attentive, informative guide. My husband and are very interested in birds and his knowledge of the bird calls, by site was impressive. He had us stop at a couple of really nice homes (bed and breakfast) where we could look at birds and enjoy the setting of lovely streams, chairs in which to watch birds at feeders and get information about the coffee production at one of the bed and breakfast. As we stayed on in Panama City, Rick helped us organized a driver, a boat tour up to an Embera Village and followed up to make sure we were fine. Rick also added a trip to see some bats in a local cave in Bocas del Tora one late afternoon which was an extra treat. He really went beyond and did it with an ease and grace. You have a real jewel with Rick. [We liked] the Gamboa Hotel and the surrounding hikes and boat ride to see wildlife. The Panama canal was really interesting and eating a picnic lunch while watching the ships was great. We also really enjoyed visiting the ruins in Volcan and birdwatching, and our hikes into the various forests. We liked the whole trip and the variations of seeing the old city, the remodeling of the old section of Panama, Casco Viejo, the forest, the coffee industry, the boat rides, seeing the Indian villages.”

                                        This morning, fly to the Chiriquí Highlands, where farms flourish in the
 rich volcanic soil and we’re surrounded by fields of strawberries, 
potatoes and flowers. We visit La Amistad Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO 
World Heritage Site that boasts a greater diversity of North and South 
American flora and fauna than any other point on the isthmus. Search the
 cloud forest for silver-throated jays, prong-billed barbets, and buffy 
tuftedcheeks. We may even encounter the stunning and elusive resplendent
 quetzal. This afternoon, wander among over 1,200 species of orchids, 
including several species that are already extinct in the wild, at the 
famed orchid farm of <br>
Finca Dracula.

 Barril people. After lunch we drive to the picturesque highland town of
 Boquete, located on the eastern side of Barú Volcano. Some of the

its highland trails provide us with our second opportunity to search for
 the resplendent quetzal. We may also discover a host of other birdlife,

 of the Rio Chagres. Here in Soberania National Park, we are surrounded 
by hundreds of bird species and 150 species of mammals. This renowned 
eco-resort offers an intimate jungle encounter in an unexpectedly 
luxurious setting. A boat cruise through a portion of the Panama Canal 
brings us close to a host of wildlife on the rainforest-draped islands 
in Gatun Lake. Back at the lodge there’s a chance to swim, kayak or 
indulge in the full-service spa. A visit to Pipeline Road, considered

hawk-eagles, black-breasted puff-birds, blue cotingas, purple-throated 
fruitcrows, cinnamon becards, shining honeycreepers and a wide array of
