Barro Colorado Island, Panama

Cruising the Panama Canal, Panama

After anchoring overnight in Panama Canal's vast Gatun Lake, disembark at Barro Colorado in the morning (if permitting allows). This island was formed by the damming of the Chagres River to build the legendary canal. A visit to the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute unveils initiatives to protect and study the extraordinary biodiversity of one of the planet's most studied tropical forests and site of National Geographic studies. Later, choose between a hike into the jungle, a Zodiac cruise across the lake, or a boat ride to the mouth of the Chagres to explore the Panama Rainforest Discovery Center. In the evening, begin your transit through the dramatically lit lock system of the legendary Panama Canal, 50 miles long and passage for some 14,000 ships annually. ...

San Blas Islands, Panama

Wake up amidst the Guna Yala archipelago-known also as the San Blas Islands-a scattering of 368 white-sand isles off the northeast coast of Panama. Spend the day exploring this paradise where the Guna people still live as their ancestors did: in thatched huts making ancient handicrafts such as molas, colorful panels of stitched fabric. Deeply committed to their culture, the Guna are admired as a politically autonomous community, where women make the rules and gender fluidity is celebrated. In the afternoon, head offshore to explore the vibrant marine world of this breathtaking utopia by snorkel, kayak, and stand-up paddleboard. ...

This former cattle ranch, now part of the national system of protected areas, offers great opportunities to explore on foot or by water. Learn about the conservation work being done as you explore the tropical dry forests, coastal lagoons, and sea grass beds.

At Sea

The oldest city in Colombia, Santa Marta is a historical gem. Considerably more laid back and intimate than Cartagena, the city's heritage is a blend of indigenous ethnic groups, Spanish colonial architecture, and modern history. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site since 1979, it is also the gateway to Tayrona National Park, which spans from the secluded beaches to one of the highest coastal mountain ranges in the world: the Sierra Nevada Santa Marta. Spend the day exploring the many options this magical region has to offer. ...

The beaches within the park are important nesting grounds for all four species of sea turtles. You will also explore the National Marine Park surrounding the island, which was created to protect the narrow fringing reef and mangroves that are teeming with life. ...

Port of Spain, Trinidad And Tobago

Drive through the lush Arima Valley to the Asa Wright Nature Centre, a mecca for nature lovers. You'll have a choice of trails to walk as you look for toucans, hummingbirds, tanagers, motmots, and butterflies. Or stay on the "birding veranda" and let the avifauna come to you.

Located on the grounds of a former plantation, the Mamiku botanical gardens are alive with the sounds of birds and rush of Diamond Falls. Delve into the history of the grounds which spans the reign of Louis XIV, the War of the Brigands, and the slaves fighting for the freedom from the British.

Montserrat, French West Indies

St John's, Antigua and Barbuda

Nicknamed the "emerald isle", this tiny volcanic island has lush green forests, high peaks, and black-sand beaches. Montserrat is also known for the 1995 eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano that destroyed much of the island's southern portion and buried Plymouth, the capital. Visit the Volcano Observatory to learn what scientists continue to discover about the island. Then, hike the spectacular trails of the northern region, keeping an eye out for the beautiful Montserrat oriole.
