Detailed Itinerary

DAY 1 — Welcome to Panama

Arrival in Panama City, transfer to the accommodation and your first introduction to the city. We will stroll through the historic Casco Viejo, surrounded by colonial architecture, charming squares and terraces overlooking the skyline. A first evening to acclimatise and begin the adventure at a relaxed pace.

DAY 2 — Heading for the Pacific: From the Capital to Pedasí

The two-wheeled adventure begins. We leave Panama City behind and venture onto the inland roads, travelling through tropical landscapes, villages and rural areas before continuing towards the Azuero Peninsula. A day to gradually discover another side of the country, far from the urban atmosphere and closer to rural Panama. Approximate distance: 300 km.

DAY 3 — From Pedasí to Santa Catalina: Roads to the Pacific

We leave the Azuero Peninsula behind and continue towards Santa Catalina, one of Panama’s best-known destinations for its surfing culture and proximity to Coiba National Park. The route crosses the country's interior, combining rural roads, small towns and tropical landscapes until we reach the coast. Upon arrival, we will have time to explore the village, stroll by the sea and enjoy its laid-back atmosphere. Approximate distance: 250–260 km.

DAY 4 — Coiba National Park: The Pacific Beneath the Surface

Today, we swap our motorcycles for a boat to explore the turquoise waters of Coiba National Park. This full-day excursion includes stops at different snorkelling spots, where we can discover coral reefs and look for sea turtles, tropical fish and reef sharks in their natural habitat. The wildlife is wild, and sightings can never be guaranteed, but Coiba offers an extraordinary opportunity to discover the marine biodiversity of the Panamanian Pacific. A day to take a break from the road and enjoy one of the trip’s greatest natural treasures.

DAY 5 — Heading for the Mountains: From Santa Catalina to Boquete

We get back on the road to cross Panama’s interior and head towards Boquete, in the province of Chiriquí. The landscape gradually changes as we leave the coastal atmosphere behind and approach the mountains, green valleys and highlands of one of the country’s most fascinating regions. This connecting stage will allow us to discover another side of Panama and prepare for the two main highlights of the coming days: speciality coffee and mountain roads. Upon arrival, we will settle into Boquete and enjoy the tranquillity of the town. Approximate distance: 280–330 km.

DAY 6 — Speciality Coffee and Mountain Roads in Chiriquí

A day combining two very different yet complementary experiences: discovering Panamanian coffee at its source and enjoying the roads of the highlands. In the morning, we will visit a coffee farm in the Boquete region. We will explore the growing area, learn about the production process and discover how climate, altitude and processing influence the flavour of coffee. The visit will conclude with a guided speciality coffee tasting, offering an opportunity to experience one of Panama’s great gastronomic treasures. After lunch, we will get back on our motorcycles to explore the scenic roads around Boquete. Mountains, lush vegetation, viewpoints and winding roads will accompany us throughout an afternoon designed to enjoy the ride at a relaxed pace. An experience that will allow us to discover Chiriquí from two perspectives: its coffee culture and the freedom of exploring its landscapes on two wheels.

DAY 7 — A Night in the Tropical Rainforest of Gamboa, by the Panama Canal

We begin our return journey, once again crossing the country's interior. This will be the final major riding day of the trip, an opportunity to enjoy Panama’s landscapes one last time. The day's route ends at a hotel nestled in the rainforest and surrounded by wildlife. The surroundings are safe and offer a spectacular connection with nature. We will also cross the famous Panama Canal on our way there.

DAY 8 — Panama City: One Last Day to Discover the Capital

After our two-wheeled adventure, we will spend the day enjoying Panama City. We can take a more leisurely stroll through Casco Viejo, discover new corners of the city, visit the handicraft market or enjoy the local cuisine. One last opportunity to take in everything we have experienced, share memories of the trip and say goodbye to Panama over a special dinner.

DAY 9 — Until the Next Adventure

Breakfast, free time depending on your flight schedule and transfer to the airport.
