Welcome to Panamá
In November 2023, we made our first trip to Panama. We liked it so much, we decided to head back! From its famed canal to the beauty of its natural landscape, Panamá is a place with countless sights to see, stories to hear, and things to do. Read on to learn more, or register now.

Trip Overview
From our base in Panama City, we will explore this bustling capital, including its historic district - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - and the Panama Canal. We’ll hear stories from locals, while enjoying Panamanian cuisine during a walking food tour. We’ll take day trips, including to the nearby town of Portobelo with its unique and rich Afro-Panamanian heritage. With each step, we’ll learn more about the Panamanian people and their culture. And don’t worry, we’'ll make time to relax on one of Panama’s many pristine beaches.
