Panama in $280s-$420s RT

Maybe one day, I'll be able to read the name "Panama" in my head without screaming it in David Lee Roth's voice.

But today is not that day.

While the song is actually about a sports car (or so the band claimed), the country itself is more about tropical island-hopping through the San Blas, sipping local rum, and hiking up volcanoes.

Despite being one of the safer countries in Central America, and offering similar views to the most touristy spots, Panama still seems to fly under the radar. That lack of crowding might be why it's one of the best places to learn about the region's indigenous cultures — the country has a huge native population, and several tribes have opted to open their doors and teach visitors everything from dancing to cooking to tattooing. 

See? There's so much more to Panama than an 80s rock banger :-)

P.S. Dates are a little funky on this one, but every route except Miami has dates both this fall, and either this spring or next winter. Miami, your dates are all in spring, but hopefully that sweet non-stop flight takes the sting out of it.
