Continue your adventure touring different orchid sites of Panama. You will first head to El Valle de Anton explore the many trails and this quaint little town. Your exploration continues with a visit to the Finca Dracula in the Chiriqui Highlands
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
After breakfast we’ll continue our Panama travels with a two-hour drive along the Pan-American Highway into beautiful El Valle. This mountain town is located in the crater of an ancient volcano that erupted with such ferocity it left a 3-mile-wide scar on the landscape. This crater is the largest in the Americas. We’ll hike the valley’s trails admiring its hummingbirds and other tropical wildlife including a golden frog unique to the area. El Valle’s spring-like climate is perfect for exploring the vast variety of trails that run past Indian petroglyphs, hot spring and waterfalls. At El Macho Falls we’ll securely strap into a harness, and through a series of cables and pulleys, we’ll observe the landscape from four different platforms on a canopy adventure. At 220 feet above the forest floor, we share this rare and remarkable view with the animals sheltered within the canopy. Enjoy a traditional Panamanian lunch, and with time, explore the city’s markets where locals sell colorful handmade baskets, clay figures, vegetables and flowers. Overnight in El Valle
This morning take a flight to the town of David. Here you will be met and transferred to the small town of Guadalupe. This quaint town boasts itself as a garden city. Enjoy the beauty as you gaze upon flowers and agricultural plots that surround the city. This afternoon we are on to explore the Finca Dracula Orchid Sanctuary. With over 2000 species of orchids, the sanctuary is one of Latine America's finest collections of Orchids. The rest of the afternoon is yours to explore and learn about the orchids. Tonight relax at Los Quetzales Lodge and Spa. Located near the center of town, this lodge offers a variety of spa services as well as many trails into the Baru Volcano National Park.
This morning enjoy a relaxing morning at the lodge or exploring town. This afternoon transfer to David to catch your return flight to Panama City. Overnight Panama City

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.

The ability (of Kassandra) to tailor a guided trip to my exact preferences is very valuable to me, as well as the ability (of Kassandra) to provide expert guidance on destinations and travel dates. I also appreciate the ability of the backup staff (Maria Ignacio, Exito Travel) to coordinate all the details to make the travel logistics easy for the customer.

Our Costa Rica trip was amazing! Kassandra planned everything and the excursions, hotels, overall organization were outstanding. Everything worked out smoothly, the excursions guides were knowledgeable allowing us to see so much of the fauna and flora of the country. The hotels were great as well, all in fantastic locations and with beautiful views.
