Bird watching holidays in Panama
Birds, birds, birds in great variety, moderate distances and comfortable lodges make Panama west of the canal area a target for any birdwatcher.
To unveil the Dariιns astonishingly rich birdlife takes care and intrepidness, but with great rewards.
Panama offers over 970 species of birds in a broad range of habitats, many of which can be visited quite easily.
A first-class field guide, an up-to-date site guide, and some good local birdwatching guides, make for a very pleasant and productive birding holiday while staying in reasonably good accommodation in some very enjoyable locations.
Panama also offers expedition birding for the dedicated enthusiast, to find birds that few others will ever see.
Because our expertise is in travel and logistics, backed by a good understanding what birders need and of current conditions for birders on the ground, we are able to design and support tailor-made birdwatching trips to suit a wide range of interests, styles and budgets.
