8 DAYS // Dec 27, 2015 – Jan 3, 2016
HIGHLIGHTS
With breathtaking scenery, sensational beaches, modern infrastructure and few tourists, it's easy to see why Panama has gained a reputation as Latin America's most spectacular up-and-coming photo travel destination.
Experience and photograph modern Panama, as well as the country’s timeless countryside where indigenous traditions still flourish. Venture deep into the rainforest to photograph the indigenous community, Embera, in Chagres National Park. Then unwind on the beaches of the San Blas Islands and soak up the cultural traditions of the Kuna people.
