How many days should I plan for a circuit in Panama?

Our Panama itineraries run from 10 to 20 days. Ten days (Bocas Paraíso) is enough for Panama City and the Bocas del Toro archipelago; 11 to 13 days (Back to the Future, Caribe Dreamin’, Lost in Paradise, Mystic Pacific) let you add San Blas, Bayano Lake, the Pearl Islands or the Pacific coast; and 20 days (Panacea) covers the country from coast to coast. All durations can be adjusted to your wishes.

Which Panama circuit is best for islands and beaches?

Bocas Paraíso is dedicated to the Bocas del Toro archipelago, with Bastimentos, Isla Colón, Carenero and Bocas Town. For the San Blas islands, choose Caribe Dreamin’, Lost in Paradise or Panacea, and for the Pearl Islands, Back to the Future or Lost in Paradise. Lost in Paradise is the itinerary that strings the most islands together in a single journey.

Which circuit should I choose for the Pacific coast and the highlands?

Mystic Pacific concentrates on the Pacific side of Panama: Antón Valley, Santa Catalina, Boca Chica and Boquete, over 13 days. Panacea, our 20-day itinerary, combines those same Pacific stages with San Blas and Bocas del Toro on the Caribbean side.

Can I combine Panama and Costa Rica in a single trip?
