Panama is that country many have heard of for its famous canal — but few truly know.
In this small strip of land connecting two oceans, you'll find adventures as diverse as they are unforgettable: from postcard-perfect Caribbean islands to lush rainforests just minutes from a vibrant city.

And the best part? You don’t need to spend a fortune to live it. With the TripSaver Pass, you can access over 80 activities with special discounts —so your trip can be longer, richer, and far more memorable.

I’m Nalú, your traveling guide and explorer of hidden gems. Today, I’m sharing three experiences that will make you fall in love with Panama… and help you make the most of your journey. 🦜

San Blas, known by locals as Guna Yala, is an archipelago of over 300 islands, many of them uninhabited. You won’t find high-rise hotels or luxury resorts here —just pure nature, vibrant culture, and the Caribbean Sea in its most untouched form. The Guna people proudly manage this paradise, keeping their traditions and way of life alive.

If you’re looking for virgin beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a complete digital detox, this is your spot. Many tours include transportation, lunch, and visits to multiple islands… and yes, several are included in our TripSaver catalog —at a discount!

🐚 Nalú’s tip: bring a snorkel mask, waterproof camera, and a big desire to disconnect from the world.

(1) Waking up in San Blas — a Guna paradise 🏝️

(2) Strolling through Panama City and its living history 🏙️

Desde el aire, la Ciudad de Panamá parece una mezcla entre Miami y Cartagena. Rascacielos de vidrio brillan junto a calles empedradas del Casco Antiguo, y a unos minutos están las ruinas de Panamá Viejo, la primera ciudad fundada por los españoles en la costa del Pacífico.

Un buen City Tour te lleva a recorrerlo todo: la historia, la arquitectura, el Canal de Panamá, y la esencia de una ciudad que nunca deja de moverse. Algunos tours incluso combinan cultura, gastronomía y vistas espectaculares. ¿Y adivina qué? Varias de esas opciones las tenemos con descuento en TripSaver.

📌 Tip de Nalú: date un gustito con una chicha de raspadura —como decimos por acá, pa’ refrescarse bien.

(3) Exploring the rainforest just minutes from the city 🌳

Rainforest and city in the same day? Only in Panama. Places like Soberanía National Park or the Pipeline Road let you step deep into nature without straying far from the city. Here, you can spot monkeys, toucans, sloths, and even crocodiles.

Many visitors are amazed at how close these wild spaces are. There are guided excursions that leave in the morning and return before the afternoon. And yes —TripSaver offers several of them at special prices.

🌿 Nalú’s tip: pack your binoculars and get ready to meet some wildlife.
