The Pearls of Central America, Las Perlas hug Panama like a jealous lover in a warm embrace of greens and blues. Snorkel or just lie on the beach - you too will fall into her grasp.


Los Sueños/Playa Herradura, Costa Rica Saturday Tours & Excursions Sunday Tours & Excursions
Until recently this gem was unknown to almost all but a few hikers and nature lovers. Now it is home to one of Costa Rica's largest and most luxurious resorts. You'll fall in love with the black sand beaches, swaying palms and turquoise waters.
Quepos Tours & Excursions
This seaside town is the epitome of “jungle chic”. Fresh seafood is the order of the day - your taste buds will thank you for being such a savvy traveler. Quepos is best known as the gateway to Manuel Antonio National Park - Costa Rica’s crown jewel. White face monkeys squeal with delight as you trek jungle trails to a waterfall falling directly into the ocean as exotic birds fly overhead.
Golfito Tours & Excursions
This coastal town was born in 1938, when the United Fruit Company established its banana plantations here. Built from scratch in a unique plantation style, Golfito soon became the main banana shipping port in Costa Rica. In 1985 “the Big Fruit” company pulled out and today Golfito is a sleepy little town, but it has much to offer in terms of sheer beauty. You can hire a water taxi to explore the nearby beaches, take advantage of the world-class deep-sea fishing or visit the beautiful Casa Orquísdeas (Orchid House).
Las Secas
Isla Secas is one of the few remaining untamed territories left in Latin America. Located on the Pacific coast, between the Chiriqui Province and Coiba Island, Isla Secas offers swimming, snorkeling, fishing, whale watching, surfing, kayaking and of course, beautiful beaches.
Isla Coiba
Isla Coiba boasts 1,450 animal species. Among them whales, manta rays, parrots, and hump backed whales. Don’t miss the exotically feathered Guacamya Royal as she flits above the treetops looking for her prey. Isla Coiba’s volcanic soil makes for verdant jungle forests and darkly beautiful sandy beaches.
Balboa, Panama Saturday Tours & Excursions Sunday Tours & Excursions
The port of Balboa was built upon the fill from this Mother of All Digs way back in 1903. Balboa also served as the principal settlement in the former Canal Zone.
