Stretching between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, Costa Rica and Panama offer a rare blend of lush ecosystems, vibrant wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. Guests will hike through jungles alive with macaws, hummingbirds, and monkeys; snorkel among colorful coral reefs; paddle through mangrove lined fjords; and explore secluded islands accessible only by small ship. Highlights include a full 48‑mile Panama Canal crossing, wildlife‑rich hikes near Santa Rosa, Curú Wildlife Refuge, and the Osa Peninsula, snorkeling in UNESCO‑designated Coiba National Park, two days in the Guna Yala (San Blas) Islands meeting the Kuna people, a rare exploration of the Darien Gap with time in an Emberá community, and a visit to historic Portobelo with its centuries‑old Spanish fort ruins.

Crafted for travelers seeking more than a traditional vacation, the Costa Rica & Panama Ultimate Adventure offers expert guides, flexible daily activities, and access to protected parks and hidden coves. Guests can choose their activities and pace each day.
