Soberanía National Park and Camino de Cruces Hiking Tour

Great guide, really kind,...

Great guide, really kind, knows the area really well, knows a lot about the wildlife. It was an interesting and fun afternoon. Really recommended to visit it with a guide because otherwise you risk to miss plenty of animals and more information about them. Due to damage or maintance works the current choice of trails in the park is limited to the main forrest road. The park also allows some cars there on the first part of the forrest, which is a small nuissance. The animals made up for it cause they were very active in that part and of course the guide is not to blame for this . Once beyond the car part, the hike became really nice.

Birding, Breakfast & Critters with a Local Naturalist

Breakfast with the wildlife

What a lovely experience having breakfast while watching the birds and wildlife. We saw green parakeets, many kinds of tanagers, orioles, panamanian mocking birds, thrushes, a small capybara type animal, and the coatomundis. The breakfast was delicious, a Spanish omelet, pineapple pancakes and Greg's special smoothies. Highly recommend!

Panama Canal Boat Tour to Monkey Islands

Best Tour in Panama

What an amazing journey a must do when in Panama City! Oscar is the best tour guide ever such a great guide with a wealth of information. He knew so much about the history, people and city. He is also quite funny. We had the best time with so much to see and enjoy. The boat ride was exciting, safe and you get to see so much wildlife especially the monkeys. The canal and river was gorgeous. If you do any excursion this one is the one to do!
