Day : 1 - Arrival in Panama City :

Upon arrival to Panama a representative of Panama Trails will pick you up at the airport and transfer you to your city hotel for your first night in Panama.
Panama City is the capital and largest city in the country. It is home to a diverse blend of cultures and an enormous historical sector in the Old City.

Day : 2 - Boquete Zipline Tour:

In the morning you will be picked up at your hotel for a short transfer to Panama City’s domestic airport. There you will board a propeller plane for a 50 minutes flight to David. Upon arrival you will be transferred to the mountain village of Boquete. After checking into your hotel – the Panamonte Inn & Spa – you will continue with a Zipline Tour in the misty cloud forests of the Chiriqui Highlands.
Glide through the treetops of century-old forests, high above the pristine rivers and waterfalls that make up the incredible collection of natural landscapes bordering the National Park La Amistad and the famous Baru volcano. Tarzan, 21st century! Who would have thought that a technology utilized hundreds of years ago by our indigenous people and later perfected by botanists and naturalists to observe and study the behaviors of wild creatures in their natural habitat, would be transformed into one of the most revered extreme sports. A harness, an ultra-resistant steel cable and gravity are the only elements necessary to suspend and propel the fearless rider in this incredible adrenaline rush.
For dinner we recommend you the award winning cuisine of your hotel. Chef and co-owner Charlie Collins is famous for his both international and indigenous culinary creations.

Overnight at the Panamonte Inn & Spa, Garden Terrace Room, breakfast included.

Day : 3 - White Water Rafting:

Today you will enjoy a full day white water rafting adventure. Depending on your experience and skills you can chose the best rafting section for you.
The Sabo section of the Chiriqui Viejo River is a fun ride where plenty of high and deep wave trains provide continuous excitement. Ranked as a class II with several class III rapids, the Sabo section is also a great place for bird watching. Kingfishers, Cormorants, and Egrets are common sights down the Sabo section of the Rio Chiriqui Viejo. This less technical section is great for beginners looking for excitement.
The Palon Section (literally "big stick") of Rio Chiriqui Viejo river is a class III and IV with non-stop excitement, pristine tropical forest, and more. Considerably narrower than its counterpart and dropping at a faster speed, the Viejo requires quick, tight maneuvering to get through the many rock gardens and enormous boulders and delivers continuous white water that contribute to its class IV ranking. This is a guaranteed ride of a lifetime for rafters seeking a thrill.
