Meeting an Indigenous Tribe Deep in the Panama Jungle
Another historic first - welcome to Panama! Join us for our furthest point south EVER as we experience the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal and venture deep into the jungle to meet an indigenous tribe. Watch as we find secret viewing spots away from the crowds at the new locks, get caught in tropical downpours, and navigate through pristine jungle lakes to reach a remote village. See Jerry volunteer for traditional dress and temporary tattooing (that lasts 8-10 days!), learn about natural insect repellent made from fruit, and discover why this might be one of the best $150 excursions we've ever taken! From watching massive container ships transit the canal to authentic cultural experiences in grass huts, this is real adventure travel - even when Mother Nature throws everything she's got at us.
