One of the many scenic views we enjoyed in Panama.
My husband and I just returned from a two-week guided birding tour to Panama. We went with a tour company based in Panama called Birding Panama, and we were lucky enough to have one of the owners, Jose, as our guide. Including us, there were 5 people on the tour, plus Jose. We traveled to three different regions of the country, spent every day birding, and saw mammals, reptiles, insects, and of course, LOTS of birds.
The Houston Zoo has a relationship with the Summit Nature Park in Panama, and we are actively involved in conservation projects in the region. With this series of blogs, I hope to share with you a little bit about the country, the ecology, and the animals of Panama.
Tour Travel Tip #1: Bring an alarm clock.
Traveling with a group is time-dependent, and some of the places you may be staying may not have a clock, or even a phone, in the room.
