Day 1: After your arrival to the Panama airport our private transfer will pick you up in a private air conditioned microbus and take you to the grand
Gamboa Rainforest Resort. Deep within the heart of the Panamanian rain forest lies a place where Mother Nature and the human spirit co-exist. This hotel provides peaceful rejuvenation for the mind and soul. Here you can enjoy a visit to the orchid nursery, garden house, serpentarium, butterfly house, fish & reptiles exhibit, aerial tram, observation tower, birdwatching or fishing.
Day 2: Today you will take the
Jungle Challenge. A professional guide will point out the flora and fauna that inhabit this rich environment along your hiking and rapelling adventure. After an hour of hiking, you will reach the headwater of Iguana Creek. Rappel down the slippery, 20 meter rock face, where you'll be rewarded with a refreshing swim beneath the cool waterfalls. You’ll continue to trek through unpredictable jungle terrain until you reach the final waterfall---you will rappel right through 5 waterfalls altogether. From here enjoy a canoe transfer to a nearby Emberá Indian Village where you can relax and enjoy a typical lunch with the natives.
Day 3: To keep the adrenaline pumping, today you will go Caving in the Chagres National Park where numerous caves exist along the southern shore of Lake Alajuela. Traverse a series of passages where one of the most intrepid spelunking experiences awaits. Here you will crawl through several small spaces which lead to large rooms. The sensation of being in the belly of Mother Earth where few have dared to enter is un-describable. Your heart begins to pound as you realize you’re several meters below ground and all you have is your trusty headlamp. A picnic lunch is provided halfway through the exploration. Prepare to get muddy!
Day 4: Take a short flight on a twin engine aircraft to David in the Chiriqui province of Panama. A quick ground transfer will drop you off in time for your
Boquete portobelo.htm">Canopy Tour. Glide through the treetops of century-old forests, suspended by a cable high above the pristine rivers and waterfalls that make up the incredible collection of natural landscapes bordering the National Park La Amistad and the famous Baru volcano. You will stay at the
Los Establos Hotel, located 4,000 feet above sea level in the flanks of the Baru
Volcano. This boutique bed and breakfast sits on 12 acres of an estate quality coffee plantation, and is ideal for rest and relaxation.
Day 5: Keeping up with the pace of the rest of your trip, its time for more adventure! Today you will take on class III and IV white water rapids along the Chiriqui river before another night of relaxation at Los Establos.
Day 6: It's time to slow things down, but just a bit. Today you will go to one of the most hidden and interesting coffee plantations in all of Panama. Run by a local Panamanian family for generations, you'll see how they build their own equipment and grow and roast coffee as they have done for years. Ask to see the infamous Geisha coffee as well. You'll have the opportunity to taste as much as you like and to bring some back home with you.
Day 7: Take a short flight on a twin engine aircraft back to
Panama City today where you'll stay at the DeVille Hotel, a charming and exclusive property set in the heart of the city's financial district. You will spend the second half of your day today enjoying a four hour tour of Panama City and the Canal.
Day 8: Your Panama adventure has come to an end. Take a transfer to the airport for your international flight home.
