Start planning

8 days

Panama City, Galeta Point, Gamboa

Panama is where man-made marvels and natural phenomena intersect. Known as the Bridge of the Americas, Panama’s narrow isthmus connects North and South America and acts as a conduit for biodiversity in this hemisphere. Thanks to this continental crossroads, the country is home to the most diverse flora and fauna in Central America.

Working alongside practicing scientists on a wetland conservation project, learn how the incredible engineering feat of the Panama Canal impacted the surrounding ecosystems of this Central American oasis.Image displaying map describing the itinerary of the Waterways and Wetlands in Panama tour
