Panama
Adventures

Our Panama adventures bridge continents and ecosystems, where tropical rainforests meet coral reefs and ancient cultures thrive.

Trek through cloud forests, traverse the iconic canal, and engage with conservation efforts that protect the country’s incredible natural and cultural heritage.

VISIT Panama

In Panama, jaguars roam the jungles, resplendent quetzals glide through cloud forests, and sea turtles nest along the shores. Each species is a thread in an ecosystem shaped by movement and connection. After all, Panama is a biological corridor linking North and South America.

Its forests, mountains and coasts form one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. Yet, conservation here is not without its challenges. Habitat loss, climate change, water pollution and illegal wildlife trade are putting pressure on this crossroads between continents.

Nevertheless, Panama is fighting to safeguard its future. Through the 30×30 Initiative, the country is ahead of schedule on its commitment to protect 30% of its land and marine areas by 2030, while reforestation efforts aim to restore degraded land.

Panama’s indigenous communities, such as the Guna, Emberá and Wounaan, continue to protect their land and traditions, offering visitors a rare chance to experience their way of life. Initiatives promote sustainable tourism that empowers local communities while preserving cultural and natural heritage.

OUR FOCUS - THE IBERÁ NATIONAL PARK:

This extraordinary wetland, the largest in Argentina, is home to 30% of the biodiversity in the country including endangered species such as the pampas and marsh deer, the maned wolf and grassland birds like the strange-tailed tyrant.

In 2005, what was to become one of the largest rewilding programs in the Americas was started, with the goal of restoring keystone species that had been extirpated from Iberá through hunting and habitat loss and were extinct in the region, the Province or, in some cases, the country. 

As the rewilding program developed, the cultural identity of Iberá began to recover alongside the ecosystems and natural processes, impacting a total population of 100,000 people who surround the park.

Today, Iberá stands as one of the world’s most successful ongoing conservation missions.
