Panama is what Costa Rica used to be. Just emerging as a popular Central American destination, it combines a stable government, diverse ecosystems rich in bird species, and indigenous populations that are both in touch with modern life and still keeping traditional customs. And because it is still not well known as an active destination, it receives fewer visitors than neighboring countries. Thus it is possible to feel that you have truly gotten off the beaten track here. We'll spend seven days exploring the southern part of this beautiful country by kayak and raft. For those with more time, we offer an optional extension to the Chiriqui highlands. $2235 (the extension is $850). Single supplement available for $200   Rating: 1  2  [3]  4  5
