EXPLORE PANAMA 2022
The Canal Zone and the Rainforests of the Darien
Panama offers some of the best ecotourism possibilities in Central America. Despite being blessed with vast areas of protected forest, crystal clear Caribbean and Pacific waters dotted with emerald archipelagos, colorful indigenous cultures and the wonder of the Panama Canal, Panama is often bypassed by tourists – a fact that makes our journey even more appealing. Located at the southeastern end of Central America, Panama serves as a physical and biological land bridge between North and South America. This intermingling of wildlife from both continents, along with Panama’s wide variety of habitats, produces incredible biological diversity. For example, Panama – a country smaller than South Carolina – is home to about 950 species of birds, which is more than are found in all of North America! Viewing this diversity is
the main objective of this trip and we will hike the rainforest, ply remote rivers and explore the Panama Canal in search of wildlife. We will also visit indigenous cultures and learn about Panama’s rich history. Ecoquest Travel is proud to invite you to journey with us to explore the canal zone and rainforests of the Darien in remote Panama.
