Panama Family: Reef & Rainforest Adventure
Monkeys and dolphins and quetzals, oh my!
Welcome to Panama – a land where rainforests flourish, turquoise bays, once a hangout for pirates and conquistadors, teem with marine life, and Native Indians live as their ancestors did, welcoming you with a warm smile to their villages.
Raft the gentle class II rapids of the Chagres River, winding through lush rainforest and listening for the call of the scarlet macaw. Get up close with parakeets, monkeys, jaguars and harpy eagles at the Summit Garden Zoo. Take a tram ride high above the jungle canopy and marvel at the difference between the blue morpho and mimosa yellow butterfly at a local farm.
Get to know a tribe of Native Embera settlers, spot magnificent quetzals in the cloud forest of Volcan Baru National Park and snorkel the turquoise waters of Boca del Toro on the lookout for colorful fish, sea turtles and dolphins. By night, relax in the comfort of your hand-selected hotel and recount the day’s adventures over a family-friendly meal of fresh, local fare.
