A LUXURY VACATION TO CHIRIQUI
Nature thrives in the lush rainforests of the Chiriqui highlands, home to an abundance of flora and fauna.
Panama is one of the top bird-watching destinations in Latin America, with over 950 species identified. Chiriqui is home to some of its most exotic.
This is also the country’s prime coffee-growing region due to its climate, altitude and fertile soil, producing some of the best coffee and also citrus fruits in the world. Learn about the process from bean to cup on a visit to one of many charming plantations on the green undulating landscape.
Jungle meets white sands on Chiriqui’s southern coast, wit its stunning beaches, fantastic surf, and humpback whale watching from July to October.
WHAT TO SEE AND DO IN CHIRIQUI
For the adventurous traveller, the mountain peaks and rivers of Chiriqui offer fantastic biking, hiking, climbing and rafting.
Stay at a small eco lodge in a breathtaking valley, exploring mountains and forests on beautiful nature trails.
We also recommend spending a few days on a traditional cattle ranch to experience rural Panama and take part in local life.
ELSEWHERE IN PANAMA
Panama sits at the crossroads of North and South America, and boasts lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and the engineering marvel that is the Panama Canal. Cultural and ecological diversity beckon.

Field Notes
Think of Argentina and it’s the big hitters that spring to mind: Buenos Aires, Patagonia, Iguazú. The northwest remains, we feel, criminally overlooked. Which makes discovering it all the sweeter.Here, the terrain shifts wildly – from cacti-studded desert to pure white salt flats, dusty adobe villages to high-altitude vineyards. Unlike the rest of the country, its society, culture and traditions are distinctly Andean; far closer in spirit to the Quechuan cultures of Bolivia or Peru than Argentina’s European south.We generally recommend self-driving, or setting out in the company of one of our expert guides. You’ll carve through quiet valleys and remote mountain passes, with stays in low-key but comfortable family-run fincas, working farms and wine hotels. Just how we like to travel.Tap the link in bio to discover more.•••#Salta #Jujuy #Ruta40Argentina #Argentina #PlanSouthAmerica
Bolivia is undergoing a culinary reawakening – and leading the charge is @marsia_taha_. Named Latin America’s best female chef in 2024, Marsia is part of a new generation that is redefining Bolivian cuisine, not by looking abroad, but by turning their gaze inward. After years at the helm of @gusturestaurant, the La Paz restaurant that put Bolivian fine dining on the map, she’s recently launched her own project, @aramirestaurante. We spoke to her about what Bolivian cuisine means to her, where best to experience it, and the legacy she hopes to leave.Tap the link in bio for the full interview.•••#LaPaz #Bolivia #CulinaryTravel
