Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is a colorful tapestry of Spanish, French, Haitian, and African influences woven by a rich and storied history. Christopher Columbus described this lush land as "a beautiful island paradise with high forested mountains and large river valleys". This statement is still as true today as it was in 1492. In addition to the comforts of sun, sea, and sand, the Dominican Republic offers an exciting and unique cultural experience that will captivate your senses.




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.
