No Joke. We Did it All!
23 Day Panama Itinerary
We spent almost 23 days exploring all over — from Panama City to Isla Carenero, Boquete, Boca Chica, Santa Catalina...we did it all.
No joke, we did it all!
This is one of the big trips of the year for us. We spent almost 23 days exploring all over from Panama City, to Isla Carenero, Boquete, Boca Chica, Santa Catalina...we did it all. Hotel Tierra Verde on Carenero Island left a lasting impression on us. We had a great conversation with the owner, and the scenery is stunning.
Spectacular views, spectacular stay.
At Boquete, we stayed at Tree Trek Mountain Lodge, which had spectacular views outside our rooms. One of the tours we did was the whitewater rafting, which we enjoyed immensely. The trip was fun but safe, it was one of the highlights of our trip. We also enjoyed the canopy tour and zip lining through the foliage!
Why we’ll be coming back again…
We had an exceptional experience at Hotel Bocas del Mar. The entire staff was helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. We were treated as well as any place in all our travels. Harold, our Anywhere guide, really came through and put all the logistics in place. We had an amazing time in Panama!
