My husband and I did the Peace Corps in Panama. We were sent to the Bocas Del Toro region far from Panama City, but we visited the city frequently. Another Peace Corps volunteer, who we are really good friends with, met up with us in Panama City in 2023 for a reunion of sorts. She has lived in Panama City with her husband and kids for over 11 years. We talked about the many things to see and do in the city and she helped me write this guidebook. Included in the guide are: 🏔️ - Honest Opinions of Top Attractions 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 - Family-Friendly Activities 🏝️ - Day or Overnight Trips near the City 🍽️ - Restaurant and Bar Recommendations 🏨 - Places to Stay

We recently spent almost three weeks in Panama and this country SHOCKED us. The amount of diversity this place has to offer is insane: waterfalls, beach towns, surfing, snorkelling, mountain towns, volcanoes, cloud forests, islands everywhere, and so much more. The weather, endless activities, amazing food, and ease of travelling around this place makes it a great vacation spot! This itinerary covers the following places in Panama: - Panama City - San Blas Islands - Playa Vaneo - Santa Catalina - Boca Chica - El Valle de Anton (Anton Valley) - Boquete It covers everything we did (hotels, food, travelling, tours, activities, and SO MUCH MORE), and gives our personal opinion into where we think you should spend more or less time (to make this itinerary more flexible for your wants!). This itinerary covers everywhere we went with the addition of a few days and uses a car - which we found to be the easiest way to get around. However, almost all the locations listed in the below are able to get around to with the use of shuttles and public transportation. & yes it's for three weeks, but this itinerary is easily adjustable to either cut the locations that sound the least interesting to you, or add / cut more time in certain locations!

Paraty is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, nestled in Brazil's stunning Costa Verde. This charming colonial town boasts cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and lush tropical surroundings - and it's my favorite town in Rio de Janeiro. In the late 17th century, Paraty marked the endpoint of the Gold Route, through which gold was shipped to Europe. Its port was crucial for importing tools and African slaves for the mines. The town built a defense system to protect its wealth. Today, Paraty's historic center preserves its 18th-century layout and colonial architecture, offering a glimpse into its rich past spanning the 18th and early 19th centuries. With its rich history, vibrant culture, and picturesque coastline, Paraty offers visitors a unique blend of historical exploration, outdoor adventure, and relaxation by the sea. Explore its well-preserved architecture, embark on boat tours to nearby islands, or simply unwind on its pristine beaches – Paraty promises a memorable experience for all.
