Panama Holidays

Casco Viejo

Visit the UNESCO district of Casco Viejo, Panama City’s historic district, where vibrant plazas and picturesque brick-paved streets are surrounded by colourful buildings and plant-draped balconies.

Kuna Culture

Visit the Kuna people in their traditional villages and learn about Kuna culture and island life in San Blas. Perhaps hike the rainforest with a Kuna guide.

Suggested Holiday Idea

Bocas del Toro

Go island hopping in Bocas del Toro, an island chain on Panama’s Caribbean coast. Here, the rhythms are reggae and calypso, the language guari-guari, and the vibe most definitely unhurried.

Charter a Yacht in San Blas archipelago

Snorkel in crystal-clear waters among vibrant coral reefs, where marblesque conches, golden-hued starfish, sharks, stingrays, flying fish, jellyfish, lobsters and dolphins are found. Dine on fresh produce cooked over an open fire and indulge in the exclusivity that comes with privately chartering a vessel.

Suggested Holiday Idea

Camino de Cruces

Walk part of the historical trail, Camino de Cruces, that connects the Pacific to the Atlantic coast; a well-trodden path by merchants, slaves and gold seekers alike.

Panama Canal

From Agua Clara Locks, watch huge container ships navigate the 80 kilometre long Panama Canal. An extraordinary feat of engineering and one of countries main sources of income.

Turtle Watching

Home to five of the world’s seven sea turtle species, Panama is a hot spot for observing sea turtles as they come ashore to lay their eggs on one of over 200 protected nesting beaches. Join conservation efforts by helping to collect data and monitor their nesting habits.

Portobelo’s Old Customs House Museum

Visit Old Customs House Museum in Portobelo, which served as a central hub for trade and taxation in the 17th-century. A fascinating insight into Panama’s colonial past.
