Discover The Exotic Panama Rainforest Tours

By Cathy Mercer


The Panama is in Central America, and is one of the most untraveled areas in the world. For those looking for an exotic vacation, with some of the freshest water in the world, and over 1,000 species of animals, and over 10,000 species of plants, the Panama rainforest tours may just be for you. Group or private trips are available through some companies daily. In addition, there are also boat, motorcycle, and sailing trips, and some of the most inclusive resorts known to the region.

Most of the trips are hikes through the forest to investigate birds, butterflies and other creatures in the forest. There are also guided boat rides in which visitors can photograph a number of species in the forest, including monkeys, crocodiles, birds and other wildlife. There are also education trips, where tourists take an adventure off the beaten path to experience the Embera people, Indians native to the region. Travelers will find handmade goods, places to shop in the jungle, and a truly authentic vacation experience.

Bird watching, one of the most popular trips, ensure travelers will experience the ultimate in investigating species. Visitors to forests ill find a breathtaking natural habitat, and species they have undoubtedly never seen. Many of the birds survive and live exclusively in the rain forests.

The benefit of of Panama rainforest tours is that guides explain the many birds and their environments, as well as signifying spots, and markings. They often give travelers time to photograph as well. There is some difference in different companies on photo and bird tours, so check beforehand. Photo trips move a little slower than the others. There may also be some difference in the classes of trips for different types of birds and their natural environments.

The other benefit of a guide is their knowledge of the area, and their ability to give in depth explanations of the forest, different animals, and people, and history of the area. Not all trips are the same. Some are only day trips, others last as long as two weeks. Many of the longer trips will include Panama's beaches, and waterfalls many describe as paradise. Also consider the many private tours.

The rain forest offers mild temperatures year round, but those considering a vacation to the most pristine waters and untouched forests in the world should consider the seasons. Although temperatures are mild, between 73-83, April through December is rainy season, The rest of the year is the dry season.

During the rainy season it rains for short periods each day. The rest of the year is the dry season, in which winds blow steadily. Do research and make sure you are visiting the area at the right time of year to get the full benefit of the trip.

It might also be beneficial to do preliminary research for those who plan to go on bird watching. The rain forests cover more than 20% of the region, so there are many forests and jungles. Different forests may be indigenous to different animals. A tour guide company could likely book you on the correct Panama rainforest tours for specific animals and birds.
