mountain views, exotic birds and abundant nature scenes to captivate any photographer. With an introductory bird and
nature tour we then plan to visit the hot springs complete with mud bath and the papaya farm.

Pintada. Local markets with traditional craft scenes, hat making and the ancient petroglyphs in El Valle will round off
our day of exploration.
Day 4: With sustainable environments on our mind we will take to the water with an ‘eco’ guided tour
capturing close up and landscapes with a visit to El Nispero Zoo and Botanical Gardens to photograph the
endangered Panamanian Golden Frogs.

to take stock and consider HDR (High Dynamic Range) images and the challenges of nocturnal photography. We will
stay at the Boquete Garden Inn and visit an indigenous tribe and the Coffee Plantation.
Day 6: Photographing wildlife represents many challenges. We will consider composition, lighting and the
challenge of capturing animal/bird behavior in striking images.
Day 7: Back in Panama City to photograph the exquisite architecture and the faces of the city. With an
opportunity to view the famous Panama Canal and take an authentic train ride to the city of Colon on the northern
coast. We will feel the cool breeze of the Atlantic and with thoughts of tall sailing ships and privateers we will
photograph the sea fort of Lorenzo.

restaurants, street scenes and nightlife.
