DESTINATION GUIDES

Three words: Panama adventure travel. One of the best places to visit in Panama is the great outdoors! Panama adventure travel tours offer you the adrenaline rush you never knew you needed. Leave all of the stress you brought with you behind as you laugh and shout when you're zip lining through the jungles of Boquete, or getting splashed as you raft the city's nearby whitewater rapids. Go windsurfing in Punta Chame; later, do your best impression of an explorer when you make your way through the region's dense mangroves.

Panama's adventure opportunities are far-reaching and impressive. One day, you're hiking along a rugged trail in the rainforest, and the next, you're heading toward the coast and Panama's beaches — you couldn't resist the chance to ride horses, kayak, scuba dive, and enjoy the Panama surf. As you can see, Panama's adventure activities are available throughout the country; they're also safe, fun, and memorable. Not only will they get your heart pumping, they'll expose you to some of Panama’s best outdoor environments.

#1:  Boquete

Boquete’s landscape is ripe for adventure. The highlands offer a huge number of natural attractions and skilled guides that can take you on adventure tours. The nearby Barú Volcano and high humidity make it a misty and highly atmospheric place to explore.

On a hike, you can see waterfalls at the Lost Waterfalls Reserve. You’ll find these reserves among the cloud forests, home to some of the rarest birds in the world. Venture into the treetops on a canopy tour for a better look at some of the birds that live in the area.

Hop on a horse to see some of the landscape that surrounds Caldera, a town in the highlands above Boquete. There’s a cluster of hot springs here that you might see on an ATV tour — an adventurous excursion that appeals to travelers who want to vroom around the scenic paths.

The Chiriquí River’s rushing waters and canyons offer more opportunity for adventure. There’s a “Tarzan swing” as well as a spot where you can go rappelling down the canyon. After a long day of adventure, take a refreshing dip in the cool waters.
