Your day-by-day itinerary
Coffee Beans in the Countryside
In the middle of a lush valley, wedged between towering volcanoes, is your home for the next few days, Boquete. Surrounded by exotic flowers, plants and birds you can enjoy the peace and quiet of your surroundings. The humid climate makes this the perfect place for growing coffee. You’ll experience the whole process from bean to cup, and even be able to take some roasted beans away with you.
Onward transfers
You’ll travel by private transfer or hire car to your hotel in Boca Chica in Golfo de Chiriquí. Travel time today is roughly 2 hours.
Make a Splash in Snorkelling Coves
Far away from the tourist throngs is the quiet fishing village of Boca Chica, nestled amongst the Chiriquí lowlands. Grab your snorkel and dive in to discover an underwater world of tropical fish and colourful coral reefs. Visit the deserted islands of Parque Nacional Marino Golfo de Chiriquí and search for monkeys, turtles and birds of paradise. You stay in cosy bungalow just outside the village.
Onward transfers
From Boca Chica you’ll travel by private car, or hop in your hire car, for the journey to El Valle de Anton. It’s a longer journey today of about 6 hours with places to stop off along the way.
Hike Between Jagged Peaks
Take a hike through lush vegetation, past tumbling waterfalls and ancient rock paintings in El Valle de Anton. Situated in an extinct volcanic crater, expect to discover verdant forests, craggy rocks and colourful birds twittering in the trees. If you’re really lucky, you might even spot the elusive golden frog. With our route description to guide you, you can set your own pace through the sprawling trees.
Onward transfers
From El Valle de Anton it’s just a shorter journey today of roughly 3.5 hours by private car or hire car to Panama City.
The Canal and Cobblestones of Panama City
Panama City is allegedly the most cosmopolitan in Central America. The ethnic diversity has given rise to a wide array of restaurants for you to choose from; Panamanian-style ceviche, chicken kebabs, bluefin tuna sushi or tikka masala! During your stay you’ll visit the famous Panama Canal and let a local guide introduce you to the city; a world of historic buildings and cobbled streets.
Onward transfers
You’ll be collected from your hotel in Panama City and transferred to the ferry port where you’ll catch the boat over to Isla Taboga, about an hour’s ferry ride.
Sun, Sea and Spices
Escape the city to Isla Taboga, the island of flowers, and discover the art of Panamanian cooking. Prepare local dishes such as sea bass stew and creole sauce then feast on your creations before heading to the beach to uncover tales of feuding pirates, buried treasure and blood-thirsty brigands!
Onward transfers
At the end of your stay on Isla Taboga you’ll catch the ferry back to the mainland. A transfer will take you back to your hotel in Panama City where you’ll stay another night before being transferred to the airport the next day. So long Panama!
