Oct 22 2007Austin-Lehman Adventures is heading to Panama with our new "Panama - Boquete to Bocas Adventure",
named by National Geographic as one of the “25 Best New Trips” for 2008. You can find this trip featured in the November 2007 Adventure Travel Issue. Panama is what Costa Rica was years ago - still raw and untouched in many ways. Dan Austin, Co-Founder and Director of Operations, explains, "Our Panama
adventure is carefully crafted to hold on to that sense of discovery,
while still providing the comfort, ease and fun that Austin-Lehman
Adventures has refined to an art... Our approach to active travel is to
inspire bodies that like to stay fit and to massage the mind at the
same time. Panama provides the perfect setting for this."The 9 day / 8 night jungle-to-beach trip includes hiking through the misty cloud forest surrounding Baru Volcano, a night at one of the region’s finest working coffee farms, tackling the rapids of the Chiriqui River, mountain biking the rolling hills of the Pacific slope and snorkeling off the islands of Bocas del Toro. Our guests meet indigenous peoples still living much as their ancestors did hundreds of years ago and explore Boquete, one of the most modern cities in Latin America.
Other trips to receive this award have been our "Okanagan Wine Country Adventure" in 2007 and our "Oaxaca Adventure" in 2006. Austin says, "This acknowledges that year after year ALA is considered to be one of the top adventure travel tour companies in the world."
