Discover the Best of Panama in One 7-Day Discovery Program

This multi-day Panama program brings together two of the country’s most iconic experiences, the engineering wonder of the Panama Canal and the relaxed Caribbean paradise of Bocas del Toro.

Your journey begins in Panama City, where modern skyline views meet centuries of history in the UNESCO-listed streets of Casco Viejo. From here, you’ll witness the Panama Canal in action at the Miraflores Visitor Center and explore the surrounding rainforest waterways of Gatun Lake, where wildlife and cargo ships share the same extraordinary landscape.

Midway through the adventure, a short flight carries you to the Caribbean archipelago of Bocas del Toro. Known for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and laid-back island culture, this tropical destination offers the perfect contrast to the city. Relax on white-sand beaches, explore nearby islands, and enjoy a guided excursion through Dolphin Bay and the protected waters of Zapatilla Cay.
