Home to the mighty Panama Canal, join one of our small group tours to Panama to explore this impressive feat of engineering. Carved into the rainforest and running through verdant hillsides, this iconic 50-mile waterway is a must-see highlight, and your tour leader will be on hand to share their expert knowledge. Away from the trading heart of Panama City, head to the Chiriqui Province to discover verdant coffee and banana plantations, and, for a bit of respite, visit the Bocas del Toro Archipelago with its lush green forested islands. Bathe in warm turquoise waters, relax on white-sand beaches and snorkel along the colorful reefs to uncover a vibrant display of tropical fish. For the more active amongst you, jump in the saddle to explore Panama on two wheels. Free-wheel down forest slopes, swim in natural woodland pools and pedal through Panama’s rural countryside.
