Darién National Park
The dense, roadless jungle of the Darién Gap, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.
Gulf of San Miguel
A massive estuary where the Tuira and Chucunaque rivers meet the Pacific, featuring complex tidal flats.
Panama City Skyline
A dramatic view of the 'Miami of the South' with its glittering glass skyscrapers.
Casco Viejo
The charming red-roofed colonial old town, a stark contrast to the nearby modern district.
Cerro Ancón
A lush green hill topped with a giant Panamanian flag, signaling your arrival at Albrook.
The right side is essential for seeing the Darién wilderness. During the rainy season (May-December), fly early in the morning to avoid the clouds that typically build up over the jungle by midday. As you approach PAC, keep your camera ready for the transition from colonial architecture to modern high-rises.
