Transit the Panama Canal aboard the 100-guest National Geographic Quest to discover an astonishing trove of natural and cultural treasures as you navigate the Caribbean coast of Panama and Colombia. Enjoy an active eight-day expedition visiting the Smithsonian Research Institute on Barro Colorado Island— kayaking through rarely-visited inlets, walking along pristine beaches, and hiking dense jungles. Colombia is home to the most biodiverse rainforests on Earth with almost 1,900 bird species and 450 mammals, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to encounter local wildlife. Plus, with a certified photo instructor on board, you’ll go home with some amazing photos. Experience the diverse heritage of stunning cities and remote towns and immerse yourself in Panamanian and Colombian cultures. We’ll disembark to take in the Arabian-influenced architecture of Santa Cruz de Lorica, see the bustling shores of Santa Cruz del Islote—the most densely populated island in the world, and meet the indigenous inhabitants of a secluded Panamanian archipelago where age-old traditions remain part of everyday life.
