Independent extensions can be added to the autonomous San Blas Islands, where you can visit local villages and purchase exquisite molas, the famed applique artwork of the Kuna Indians. Another fun excursion is a trip down the Chagres river to visit a native Embera Indian community.
Panama is famous for its remote Darien Gap--the rainforest region just north of Colombia that connects the South and North American continents. We offer group trips with set departure dates, but you can also form your own group and enjoy a private trip anytime between January and April. Besides some heavy duty hiking, visitors to the Darien will enjoy encounters with local Indian cultures, and a wide variety of bird and animal life. Request an itinerary for our Darien Explorer Trek to explore the diversity of this mysterious region. White water rafting and comfortable cloud forest hiking are also available in the highlands region, and sea kayaking is a popular sport in the Bocas del Toro archipelago and all coastal regions.
