This tropical gem is one of Central America\u2019s best-kept travel secrets, an isthmus bridging North and South America in an S-shaped curve. It\u2019s best-known for its shipping canal, which cuts through mountains from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean; a stunning feat of engineering. But travellers visit for the unspoilt San Blas islands, a dazzling archipelago of 400-odd coral atolls, with superb diving and snorkelling. And the incredible wild Parque Nacional Darien, 6,000 sq.km of virgin rainforest and one of the most biodiverse spots on the planet, hiding indigenous tribes, elusive jaguar, thousands of birds and 1,200 species of wild orchid. Zipline through silent cloud forest, visit Chiriqu\u00ed\u2019s coffee farms and climb Volcan Baru at dawn for a panorama of two oceans. See Parque Nacional Coiba\u2019s pristine eco systems, home to whale sharks and sea turtles. And drink refreshing cocktails in buzzy Panama City. Panama is laid-back and low stress. Be one of the first to discover its charms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3894,"template":"","format":"standard","country_category":[190],"when-filter":[],"type-filter":[],"who-filter":[],"appeal-filter":[],"class_list":["post-4178","destination","type-destination","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","country_category-central-america-en-us"],"yoast_head":"\nSabbatical & Experiential Vacations In Panama | LiNGER Travel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes of Panama with LiNGER Travel on your sabbatical or experiential holiday.
