DAY 1 - ARRIVAL DAY
Your adventure begins the moment you land at Tocumen airport, where our friendly team will be waiting to welcome you to Panama. A scenic drive takes you to the Chagres River Lodge, your serene retreat nestled along the banks of the iconic river. Settle in, feel the tropical breeze, and enjoy a cold drink while gazing out over the water.
If time allows, take a gentle walk in the nearby National Park Agua Clara, where the sounds and sights of the jungle introduce you to the wonders of the Chagres river.
DAY 2 - MONKEY ISLAND AND PIPELINE ROAD
Greet the day with a delicious breakfast featuring local flavors and fresh fruits. Then, embark on a thrilling boat journey to Monkey Island, navigating the waters of the mighty Panama Canal. Witness the grandeur of passing ships and the lush riverbanks that define this engineering wonder. On Monkey Island, be greeted by curious monkeys and a myriad of wildlife.
Your afternoon is an exploration of biodiversity as you trek down Pipeline Road, a haven for bird enthusiasts. The day culminates with a visit to the Rainforest Discovery Centre, where you'll dine amidst the treetops, surrounded by the symphony of the jungle.
DAY 3 - CHAGRES NATIONAL PARK AND THE EMBERÁ TRIBE
An early start sets the tone for a day rich in cultural exchange and natural beauty. Journey to National Park Chagres to meet the Emberá tribe, whose traditions and knowledge of the land offer a profound connection to the past. Follow them through the jungle, uncovering the secrets of the forest and the stories of their ancestors. Share a meal in their village, a moment of genuine connection and understanding.
The afternoon offers a choice of further exploration by canoe or a peaceful retreat to the lodge, reflecting on the day's intimate encounters with Panama's living heritage.

Venture to San Lorenzo National Park to explore a fortress that whispers tales of colonial skirmishes and pirates. After delving into history, transition to the idyllic beaches of Playa Tortuguilla & Playa Diablillo. Here, the Caribbean's clear waters beckon you to swim, snorkel, or simply relax under the sun.
Option 2 - For a change of pace, the Summit Botanical Garden offers a glimpse into Panama's diverse flora and fauna. Continue to the El Charco waterfall, a serene spot perfect for contemplation.
