 Jungle trails and Caribbean flair! Panama is breathtaking! It brings together the very best of Central America: wild nature, vibrant culture and dreamy coastlines. Panama City welcomes you with colonial charm, a modern skyline and the unmistakable pulse of Latin America. Then it turns (really) green - cloud forests, coffee-covered mountains and dense rainforest where sloths and howler monkeys move through the trees. To top it off: Caribbean sand beneath your feet, turquoise water ahead, and time to relax with a cold drink in hand.
Panama City welcomes us with a mix of colonial charm and salsa rhythms. In Gamboa Rainforest Reserve, we observe sloths, howler monkeys and poison dart frogs up close – this is just a fraction of Panama’s incredible biodiversity. The journey ends with relaxing days on the Caribbean coast.
These and many more unforgettable adventures are waiting for you:
• Experience Panama City’s urban energy - one of Central America’s most dynamic cities
• Explore the legendary Panama Canal - a feat of engineering
• Hike through the highlands of Boquete
• Observe sloths, parrots and more in the rainforest
• Discover El Valle - Panama’s green heart in a volcanic crater
• Snorkel, paddle or relax on stunning Caribbean beaches

You’re accompanied by jungle wildlife such as sloths, monkeys, crocodiles and iguanas.
At the visitor platform of the Miraflores Locks, you see global trade in action, as container ships slide with millimetre precision between the massive walls of steel.

Day 3
A village in an extinct volcanic crater? That’s unusual. Yet Valle de Antón is tropical green rather than lava black. Driving along the Pacific coast, you cross the Puente de las Américas and reach the small mountain village.
First, you look at petroglyphs, then you hike through the cloud forest to a viewpoint with panoramic views. Afterwards, the coach takes you to the next destination of your gay adventure - Chitré.

In Chitré, life moves at a noticeably slower pace than in the capital. It’s the perfect place to experience everyday life in Panama.
You’ll visit potters and woodcarvers in their studios and gain insight into their traditional craftsmanship. For a little refreshment, you’ll try "pan de la arena" fresh from the bakery. Delicious!

Day 5
By boat, you’ll head to a true natural paradise: Isla Iguana - turquoise-blue waters, snow-white sand and a fascinating world of wildlife. The island is a dream destination for nature lovers. You’ll arrive at a protected reserve with black iguanas, colourful coral reefs and, with a bit of luck, humpback whales. Whether snorkelling, relaxing on the idyllic Playa El Cirial or taking a short hike with ocean views - the island enchants with its pristine nature. A picnic, soft drinks and beach gear are provided.

Day 6
You’ll head into the mountains as the coach climbs towards Boquete. Coffee plantations, vegetable fields and flower gardens shape the landscape.
Watching over it all, Volcán Barú, which at 3,477 metres is Panama’s highest peak. Fortunately, it’s dormant, so you can safely enjoy views over the Pacific Ocean and the entire Boquete Valley. Good vibes in the highlands.
Meals Included: Breakfast
Accommodation: Valle del Rio Hotel, Boquete, 4*
Day 7
Today, you’ll lace up your hiking boots for a trek through the cloud forest. Our mission is clear mission: spot the quetzal, a sacred bird worshipped by the Aztecs as a deity.
The roughly three-hour route takes you through cool cloud forest and lush rainforest - a paradise in endless shades of green. With a bit of luck, you might spot one of these shy, brightly coloured birds in the treetops. Back in Boquete, you’ll have time to relax. So many adventures on this unforgettable gay holiday!
