Panama City Skyline
Breathtaking views of the coastal skyscrapers and the Cinta Costera shortly after takeoff from Albrook.
San Blas Archipelago
Hundreds of tiny, white-sand coral islands dotting the turquoise Caribbean Sea.
Cayos Holandeses
Remote offshore reef systems and lagoons showing vibrant shades of blue and emerald.
Guna Communities
Densely populated indigenous island villages like Carti and Nargana visible from the air.
Puerto Obaldia Approach
Dramatic views of the coastline meeting the Colombian border as the plane descends.
Sit on the left for the entire journey to capture the iconic San Blas views. Flights to Puerto Obaldia typically depart early in the morning, which is perfect for avoiding the afternoon glare and convective clouds. Use a fast shutter speed to capture the tiny islands through the window of the small turboprop aircraft usually used on this route.

Bridge of the Americas
Views of the iconic bridge and the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal during the initial climb.
Darien National Park
The vast, emerald-green expanse of one of the world's most remote and impenetrable rainforests.
Serranía del Darién
The rugged mountain range that forms the natural border between the interior and the coast.
Continental Divide
Watch the mist and clouds roll over the ridges that separate the Pacific and Caribbean watersheds.
The right side is better if you are interested in the dense geography of the Darien Gap. It provides a sense of the immense scale of the jungle. Look for the winding rivers that are the only 'highways' in this region. Be aware that the right side can experience more direct sunlight during the morning flight path heading East-South-East.
