Panama: The Canal, Highlands & Islands a la Carte

An incredible journey of discovery is yours everywhere you venture throughout this diverse isthmus.
Days are filled with spectacular walks in a variety of ecosystems—rainforest, cloudforest, mountain
highlands, and Pacific Coast—complemented with historic and cultural visits, boating, and quintessential beach relaxation. Walking à la Carte tours include a world of options—additional cultural and regional opportunities—along with plenty of walking. The choice is always yours.

Panama is a marvel—a country of relatively small size but with a wealth of assets both natural and
human. Its stunning landscapes contain incredibly vibrant wildlife, home to 960 bird species alone, as well as a rich cultural heritage imbued with centuries of Spanish Colonial and Afro-Caribbean influences. You traverse the famed Panama Canal waters looking for Red-naped Tamarins, take invigorating walks in cloudforests searching for the elusive quetzal, and explore the underwater world and palm-fringed coast of the Pacific Ocean in all its teeming brilliance. A rainforest resort, a highland lodge, and a boutique seaside inn highlight each region’s breathtaking beauty and enhance your experience on and off the trail. Fresh tropical produce and cultural flair are blended in meals topped off with some of the world’s best coffee.

Country Walkers is pleased to announce that this tour received the prestigious ’50 Tours of a Lifetime’ 2007 award from the editors of National Geographic Traveler.
