ID: PE-101
Price: US$495 per person. (minimum of 2 people)
Duration: 3 days / 2 nights.
Day 1 Panama City – Bocas del Toro – Bocas del Drago Tour
On the morning of the first day you will be picked up at your hotel in Panama City and taken to Albrook domestic airport for the flight to Bocas town in Colon Island, the capital of Bocas del Toro province. You will be met at the local airport on arrival. After checking in at your hotel you will receive a briefing on the activities that will take place during our trip. The adventure starts with a boat ride around Colon Island to Boca del Drago. Weather permitting, you will visit Swan's Cay, a rock that emerges from the depths of the Caribbean Sea, which serves as a rookery for red-billed tropic birds (the only place these birds are found in Panama) and brown boobies. After lunch at a local restaurant, you will enjoy time at the beach at Boca del Drago and search for colorful giant starfish. During our return to the lodge, we will make stops along the coastline at coral reefs and mangrove isles for snorkeling.
Lunch and dinner included.
Day 2 Salt Creek Village – Bastimentos Marine National Park
You will depart by boat from the dock early in the morning through Bastimentos Marine National Park, Panama’s first marine national park. You will reach Salt Creek after voyaging through clusters of red mangroves, which provide protection to sea creatures during their reproductive and development stages. Upon arrival you will first enjoy a walk along Caiman trail. This trail takes you through several stages of lowland forest. Here, you will look for birds such as the red-throated ant tanager and golden-collared manakin (Cerritus sub sp.). Mammals such as night monkeys, white-faced capuchins and three-toed sloths also live in this lowland forest. An older tract of rainforest has tall trees that are home to birds such as the three-wattled bellbird and green-breasted mango. A nearby lagoon is home to the spectacled cayman and slider turtle. On the ground you can search for the tiny endemic poison dart frog (dendrobates pumilio). After the hike, you have the chance to purchase handcrafts such as painted woodcarvings and handbags during our visit to the Ngobe Bugle indigenous community, followed by lunch. In the afternoon you will snorkel among mangroves and coral reefs, searching for numerous fish species, as well as dynamic and brightly colored sea fans, sponges, and brittle starfish.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
