Culture, Community, Conservation, & Sustainability

Our commitment to responsible tourism is at the heart of everything we do at Panama Trails.

We offer your guests meaningful ways to contribute in Panama

"Envision an immersive day with the Congo Community in Portobelo, where guests can learn traditional crafts and understand the community's sustainable practices. This supports the local economy and offers an authentic cultural exchange, far removed from typical tourist experiences."

Here are just a few examples of experiences we love to include in your client’s itineraries:

Visit a rural indigenous community, such as the Congo in Portobelo or Embera Quera in central Panama, and learn about their customs, traditions, and cultural significance.

Spend a day with Hacienda Mamecillo, a small organic coffee producer in Boquete, and learn about the complete process of organic coffee production — while enjoying a local farm-to-table lunch. 

And take a chocolate tour in Bocas del Toro and experience organic chocolate production. This unique experience combines education and insights into organic coffee and chocolate production.

"By opting for our culinary tours in rural Haciendas, guests not only savor authentic flavors but also contribute to the livelihood of local families, preserving traditional culinary arts."

Search for the Pygmy Sloth in Escudo de Veraguas. This experience offers a rare glimpse into the habitat of an endangered species, highlighting the need for environmental protection.

"On our wildlife excursions, we ensure small group sizes to minimize impact and use electric-powered vehicles wherever possible, aligning with our commitment to protect the natural habitats we explore."

The ‘Pack for a Purpose’ Initiative

The “Pack for a Purpose” Initiative is a simple yet impactful program in Costa Rica and Panama that transforms the travel experience. You can invite guests to pack small items in their luggage, like new pencils, crayons, books, or a soccer ball. These might seem small, but they can brighten a child’s day. 

It’s simple, but it means a lot. Your guests get to help out in a natural, hands-on way and get a more profound, more meaningful travel experience.

Craft an Experience Your Guests Will Remember

These experiences you can offer your guests in Panama prove that travel can also positively impact the environment and the community’s well-being.
