Get to know the countries we visit below!
Peru
Peru is a land of breathtaking wonders and natural diversity, located in western South America. Its landscapes range from the Andes mountains to the Amazon rainforest and stunning coastal deserts. Peru’s scenery offers endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. Among its many natural wonders is Machu Picchu and the stunning Rainbow Mountain. Peru is also home to an array of wildlife, with the Amazon providing a habitat for thousands of species. Its vibrant cities, like Cusco and Lima, are perfect gateways to explore local crafts, markets, and delicious cuisine. Peru is a destination that promises unforgettable experiences!
Panama
While Panama is known mostly for its famous canal, the country's natural attractions offer an irresistible lure to far-sighted travelers. This overlooked country offers some of the finest birding, snorkeling, and deep-sea fishing in the Americas. We will visit the province of Bocas del Toro and Bocas Island on the Caribbean side of the country.
Nicaragua
Nicaragua, the largest country in Central America, is full of natural beauty and rich culture. Known as the “Land of Lakes and Volcanoes,” it features Lake Nicaragua, Masaya and Mombacho volcanoes, and coastlines along both the Pacific and Caribbean. Visitors can enjoy hiking, surfing, and spotting wildlife, as well as exploring colorful colonial cities like Granada and León. Once a retired trip, Nicaragua is now back on our schedule and ready to welcome our trippers again!
