This full day of activities was exactly what I was looking for. If you’re here for one day and want to see Panama and don’t want to learn about the canal (because you’re already taking a cruise or a tour that is going to do just that) then this is the tour for you! I love animals and the trip to the zoo and the butterfly sanctuary was fantastic! I saw jaguars and tapirs as well as other animals that I have never seen. On the same trip, I went to the butterfly, sanctuary and Gamboa and this butterfly sanctuary was much better. Tons more butterflies, including a lot of the blue ones that I didn’t get a picture of in the other sanctuary because they were so few. A very small trek to the waterfall. It was very satisfying. I wear a brace and I was able to handle the few stairs involved. Then you get to go to see petroglyphs, which is another one of my favorite things to do. You’ll get a chance to visit the local market, as well as eat in town. And if you think you’re done, don’t forget the hot springs where you can put on a mud mask and your skin will be super soft afterward. all these activities are in one small town, which make it very possible to go from place to place within a few minutes by your driver and guide, who is so knowledgeable, spoke perfect English, and made so many activities in one day so much fun!
