Tour Itinerary
Days 1- 2:

Day 3:
Journey by motorized dugout canoe up the Pequeni River in the Chagres National Park to the Emberá Puru Indian community. Witness the developing community co-existing within the watershed of the Panama Canal and view their beautiful handicrafts.
Day 4:
Panama is well-known for the canal, and toDay you see it from a perspective other visitors do not: from a fast boat speeding past and through the locks. Travel on Lake Gatun, navigating up the waterway past jungle islands and vessels.
Day 5:
Drive to Soberania National Park, an area of dense rainforest. In addition to abundant bird life, you may also see howler monkey, anteater and agouti.
Day 6:
 Visit Portobelo, a town once known for its trading fairs. Fleets of military and merchant ships came here to trade their goods for gold and silver. Later, drive to Colón, where you ride the elegant Panama Canal Railroad across the isthmus to Panama City.
Day 7:
Fly to David in the Chiriqui province, an area characterized by volcanic highlands, waterfalls, rivers and rugged peaks. Visit Finca Dracula, a private orchid farm, and later check in to your mountain resort nestled at the foot of the dormant Baru Volcano.
Day 8:
Meet the owners of Finca Hartman, a small family-operated farm that produces shade-grown coffee, for a tour.
Days 9-10:
Travel to Cerro Punta to explore Finca Spaulding and El Respingo. The Los Quetzales Trail, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, unites Cerro Punta with the community of Boquete and is one of Panama's most popular hiking locations. Search for resident quetzal, black and yellow silky flycatcher and volcano hummingbird.
