Panama travel plan
I recently had a few drinks with a hotel owner and as I was telling him about my site I realized how I've kind of gotten away from my original vision which was to share travel plans. So today I am happy to share a travel plan with everyone: this one. I outline the itinerary below but check the article for more about each destination.
Day 1: Panama City, Bristol Hotel, Alberto’s restaurant
Day 2: Caving Tour near Lake Bayano, back to Panama City, Casco Viejo and Restaurante Ego.
Day 3: Fly to the mountain town of Boquete, Hotel Panamonte, coffee plantation tour, spa.
Day 4: White water rafting on the Chiriqui River, strawberry farms of Volcan.
Day 5: Fly to Bocas del Toro, Tranquilo Bay resort.
Day 6: Snorkeling, sailing, or inshore fishing.
Day 7: Beach, Bocatown.
Day 8: Back to Panama City. Back Home.

Good luck leaving Bocas. It's too good to be true. No need to stay at a resort though. The hotels in town have a great atmosphere, and there are restaurants all up and down the 2-ish streets. And it's easy to get a boat/guide to go to any snorkeling or diving sites. It's worth some of the longer boat rides to get to the far away beaches, especially Zapatillas. But if you want a close one, Isla Caranera was my favorite.
Enjoy!
