Panama Holidays


south & central america
Panama may be famous for the engineering wonder of the Panama Canal, but there’s far more to experience on Panama holidays than man made marvels alone!

The capital, Panama City is a cosmopolitan mix of chic restaurants, gleaming high rises and restored colonial architecture that will appeal to city slickers, whilst outdoor enthusiasts will love the highlands of the Chiriquí province with its refreshing mountain air, stunning scenery and plethora of active adventures. After all that excitement, retire to the unspoilt Bocas del Toro archipelago on the Caribbean coast, a dreamy idyll of empty beaches, swaying palms and superb snorkelling.

A fantastic destination in its own right, Panama is home to untouched rainforests with a wonderful diversity of wildlife and many endemic species. A cruise through the Panama Canal is one of the great bucket list holidays for all serious cruisers, but Panama also has a railway and plenty of scenic hiking trails to help explore the regions delights.

Trailfinders offers a range of Panama holidays and our dedicated team of destination specialists are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Panama on a canal cruise, take a sociable small group tour, or are looking for advice on a Bocas del Toro beach break – they are the perfect people to ask.
