Your Panama Vacation Itinerary
Day 1-2: Start your adventure in the national capital, Panama City, and head straight to Casco Viejo (the Old Quarter).

Plan a day trip to the Panama Canal to watch mammoth ships slip through the Miraflores Locks.
Day 3-5: Stay on some of the world’s most spectacular islands in San Blas. Owned and operated by the Kuna people, this untouched paradise on the Caribbean side of Panama is the perfect place to live out your Robinson Crusoe fantasies.
Day 6-8: Head back to Panama City and fly to the mountain town of Boquete. A top destination for outdoor lovers, it offers jungle hikes, whitewater rafting, canopy tours, zip lining and more.
