You can also add car rental and activities to your booking to create an unforgettable getaway. With the dollars you save, why not book a tour and visit island paradises or taste famous local flavours like ceviche?
Day 1-2: Start your adventure in the national capital, Panama City, and head straight to Casco Viejo (the Old Quarter). Wander narrow cobblestone streets and discover colourful Spanish colonial houses, beautiful churches and an impressive gastronomic scene. Plan a day trip to the Panama Canal to watch mammoth ships slip through the Miraflores Locks.
Day 3-5: Stay on some of the world’s most spectacular islands in San Blas. Owned and operated by the Kuna people, this untouched paradise on the Caribbean side of Panama is the perfect place to live out your Robinson Crusoe fantasies.
