Tags

By Cathy Mercer


One of the most untraveled areas is Panama. For those looking for an adventure, along with an exotic vacation Panama Rainforest Tours is the place to be. The trips offer snapshots of not only thousands of animals and plants, but also to some of the freshest water and most pristine beaches in the world. A largely untraveled area, natural habitats for birds and other animals are naturally preserved. There are also many other trips, such as sailing, diving and boating.

Many trips take a look at birds and butterflies, and plants through hiking trips through rainforests. Others are boat trips, which take visitors into the forest by water for a closer look at wildlife, including crocodiles and monkeys. Some trips are considered those a bit out of the way, that take travelers to rainforest communities indigenous to the region, to the Embrera Indians. There, travelers will find quaint shops, handmade items and gifts, as well as an unforgettable experience.

For those that want to experience the many magnificent birds known to the region bird watching allows travelers the ultimate in observing exotic animals in their natural environments. Hundreds of different kinds of birds can be experienced.

Guides will point out the many different kinds of birds on Panama rainforest tours, explain their markings and give adventurers the opportunity to photograph, and document the birds. Some companies will offer birding and photo tours separately, with photo trips moving at a slightly slower pace. Some also offer different trips for different classes of birds, such as separating them into smaller birds, opposed to the more exotic.

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.

Seasons of the year is a huge consideration when booking trips. Make sure to book trips during the right seasons of the year. Many think that because the temperatures generally remain at 73-83 degrees year round that any time is a good time to travel to this region, but that is a misconception. The rainy season, when the forests are experiencing minimal rain is the best time to go. April through December is rainy season. The rest of the year is the dry season, with steady winds.

The forests generally get light rains daily that quickly dissipates. Doing a little research will assist travelers in arriving in the forests at the right time of year to experience the trip of a lifetime. It will also help travelers enjoy beaches and waterfalls next to none in the world.

For those who are planning bird trips its good to gather information about the different species. With 20% or more of the land comprised of rain forests some birds are only indigenous to certain forests or jungles. With this in mind a tour company usually can help travelers find Panama rainforest tours to the correct forests for species they are interested in. No matter what forest, travelers will have the adventure of a lifetime traveling where few have ever been before.
