Your day-by-day itinerary
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 make your own way to Allbrook domestic airport in the west of the city, where you’ll catch a flight to the city of David, which should take just over an hour. On arrival you’ll be picked up from the airport and transferred about 90 minutes north to your hotel in Boquete.
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 be picked up from your hotel in Boquete and transferred by private car north to Alimirante, which takes betwen 3-4 hours. Here you’ll be dropped off at the jetty to catch your boat transfer to the Isla Colon in Bocas del Toro. The crossing takes about an hour and one you reach the island you’ll simply head a couple of minutes down the main street to your hotel.
Panama Island Getaway
When you arrive at the dock in Bocas del Toro you’ll make your own way to your cosy hotel on Isla Colon. There’s nothing planned during your time here so you can do as you please. Walk along the beach, try some snorkelling, mountain bike or trek inland among the mangrove forests, creeks and rivers. Alternatively, just laze on the beach and soak up the sunshine.
Onward transfers
As your trip draws to a close we’ll transfer you to the airport on the island, roughly 5 minutes drive, where you’ll catch a short 1 hour flight back to Panama City in time to connect onto your international flight home.
