Panama City can be fun, but nothing compares to Panama’s wonderful countryside.

Escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and submerge yourself in the tranquillity of the breathtaking Panama scenery as you explore the lush mountains filled with exotic vegetation before relaxing on the Caribbean coast.

Land and leave the city immediately for the serene quiet of El Valle de Anton, where you stay at the gorgeous Hotel Los Mandarinos. A perfect retreat in the sanctuary of the mountains with thermal spas and rolling gardens perfect to release the stress and tension of everyday life.

Make the most of the cross country ground transfer with 2 brief stops – the first in the iconic Casco Viejo (Panama’s Old Town) where you’ll enjoy a sumptuous lunch before heading to the Miraflores Locks to see the amazing engineering feat that is the Panama Canal.

Then it’s straight to the beach for the final 3 nights at the wonderfully unique Caribbean resort El Otro Lado nestled in the bay of Portobelo. Explore the local beaches and take time out away from everything to soothe your soul in this tranquil environment that mixes tradition, elegance, and nature.

A ground transfer back to Tocumen International Airport completes your stay in style and ease as you leave this beautiful country with memories that will last a lifetime!

Itinerary
  • Day 1: Escape the City

    Take a ground transfer straight out of the city and to the beautiful mountain village of El Valle.

    Marvel at the change of scenery as you travel through the lush rain forest and stunning landscape to reach this unique community that’s nestled in a volcano crater.

    Settle into Hotel Los Mandarinos – truly one of Panama’s hidden gems, offering first-class comfort with full access to everything this beautiful area has to offer.

    Stay at Los Mandarinos.

  • Day 2 : Hike the Hills

    Enjoy a privately guided hike in the area which takes you above the valley to explore this cooler climate in the tropics amidst the amazing scenery and lush rainforest full of expansive views and wildlife.  

    Spend a lazy afternoon relaxing before heading out to a pre-set dinner arranged at the best restaurant in town – La Casa de Lourdes.

    This incredible restaurant offers typical Panama cuisine in an intimate surrounding and is perfectly situated adjacent to the hotel.

    Stay at Los Mandarinos.

  • Day 3: Rest and Relaxation

    Wake at your own pace and enjoy your free morning at your leisure. Take time to explore the small, mountain village, relax in the hotel’s thermal spa or simply take a lazy morning lie in.

    Tease out all the stress with a couple’s massage in the afternoon. Feel the benefits as the expert masseuse releases tension, stimulates circulation and eliminates toxins.

    Stay at Los Mandarinos.

  • Day 4: The Canal

    Leave El Valle by ground transfer. Two hours later, arrive in time for an exquisite lunch at a top restaurant in Casco Viejo – Panama’s Old Town.

    A trip to Panama would not be complete without seeing the incredible feat of human engineering that joins 2 oceans and splits 2 continents – the Panama Canal. After lunch head to Miraflores Locks to observe the ships in transit.

    Escape to the sanctuary of the coast as you continue to Panama’s Caribbean coast to stay at the exclusive El Otro Lado. This is a stunning resort nestled on the other side of the Portobelo Bay.

    Stay at El Otro Lado.

  • Day 5: Beach Day

    Bask in the amazing colors of the Caribbean in this amazing  day at the beach. Hop on a private boat over to El Otro Lado’s private beach at Puerto Francia.  

    Dive into the clear blue waters with the provided snorkel gear or lounge on the beach chairs perfectly situated in the sun for as long as you want. Sink your toes into the perfect, white, sandy beach and soak up the Caribbean vibes.

    Stay at El Otro Lado.

  • Day 6: Caribbean Pace

    Start the day with a gentle guided hike to explore the ruins of the historic Spanish fort located just behind the resort, then head back to chill poolside for the remainder of the day.

    Enjoy a cocktail and watch the sun go down in style on a private 90-minute boat ride through nearby mango channels and gentle music in the background.

    Stay at El Otro Lado.

  • Day 7: Time to Leave

    Enjoy your final few hours at the beach before heading back across the bay to pick up the ground transfer directly to Tocumen International Airport. Say goodbye with a heart and camera full of stunning memories.
