Panama Adventure!

Some come for business.

Others come to retire.

However out of all the different people who come to Panama, there are those in that group who also come for much more: the adventures. And you can find your share of adventure here. There are 14 national parks in Panama covering an area of roughly 22% of the country. This is quite an area when you consider that 30% of the country is still covered by jungle. What probably appeals most to the adventure seeker here is the fact that Panama is still a simple land having not been polluted by mankind. There are many unexplored trails in the forests and something new to see just about every day.

One tour company, Wildland Adventures, offers these types of adventurous excursions into the rain forests that the entire family can enjoy. Remember that the jungle is a very beautiful place yet most of us do not realize just how dangerous this place can be. This is the wild and do not forget it. This is why it is especially advisable that you have an experienced tour guide lead you through this environment.

You might be the adventure seeker who wants to go through a little "survival." These courses may exist in Panama but one of the tours we found was through the densest jungle in Panama: the Darien. The message on that particular web page said the tour was no longer offered. Tourists may not have a thorough understanding of just how harsh this environment was for the pioneers who built the Canal.But you don't really need to rough it with a survival tour. There are plenty of Panama adventures such as bicycle tours, Rainforest tours, and ExtremePanama.com even offers a cave tour. How exciting to see the wildlife in their natural habitat.
