Panama in $550s-$680s RT

It’s your choice: suffer through post-Christmas blues at home or go visit monkeys in the rainforest (honestly, this one’s not a tough call).

Spend your mornings watching ships squeeze through the Panama Canal, your afternoons searching the treetops for sloths, and your evenings cooling down with a raspado from the guy on the corner.

And in peak dry season, you'll be primed for perfect lazy beach days in Bocas del Toro, discovering hidden waterfalls, or just hanging around in the shade like the locals.

Toss in some binoculars, a sense of adventure, and you're all set :-)
