Panama: A Tropical Haven of Islands & Private Beaches

Beyond the beaches, Panama offers a deep cultural experience. Four major Indigenous groups—Ngäbe, Guna, Emberá, and Buglé—preserve their traditions through art, music, and festivals. The country’s colonial history and Afro-Panamanian Congo heritage shape its architecture, cuisine, and celebrations. In Panama City, the historic Casco Viejo and the iconic Panama Canal connect past and present.

With lush rainforests, towering volcanoes, and rushing rivers, every corner offers a new adventure. Visitors can zip-line through treetops, hike scenic national park trails, and explore vibrant local culture.

The Osa Peninsula, described by National Geographic as one of the most biologically intense places on Earth, is a must-visit for wildlife enthusiasts. Guests can spot sloths in Monteverde, raft the Pacuare River, or soak in Arenal’s hot springs. Costa Rica is a place to explore, unwind, and connect with nature.
