Travel in Panama

The tour was amazing. All the tours were handled really carefully well in advance- so nothing was a waste. The places we stayed in were more than excellent- each had its unique taste and experience. So many attractions and each was very special, the Rafting , the Zipline, the Jungle boat, the Canal the villages we visited had left a remarkable experience for the children- a must when visiting Panama. The travel guides we had were excellent and very pleasant. Our drivers who accompanied us were very nice, charming and polite.

Arrival on Sunday, hotel was good. Monday railroad trip to Colon, new locks on the Caribbean side, Fort San Lorenzo. Tuesday Panama City and locks on the Pacific side. Wednesday departure for San Blas Islands till Friday morning, Friday no program saw the new museum of biodiversity and a mall. Lots of impressions- We reached during rainy season but without rain no rainforest!

Panama is a beautiful varied country. We had a chance to get a sense of its history and also a look into its future. We learned about the colonial history, the biological variability, the indigenous people and managed to relax! The accommodations were perfect and the guides were friendly, knowledgable and able to be flexible with the schedule.
