National Geographic Explores Coiba

There is a distinct validation that comes when the world’s most prestigious explorers drop anchor in your waters. This week, the Pacific coast of Panama welcomed a very special guest: the National Geographic Quest. This wasn’t a typical cruise; it was a state-of-the-art expedition vessel carrying 87 travelers from the United States, France, and Costa Rica, all there to witness the raw, prehistoric beauty of Coiba National Park.

Often called the “Galapagos of Central America,” Coiba represents Panama at its most wild. Under strict conservation protocols monitored by the Ministry of Environment, these visitors traded crowded tourist traps for zodiac boats, exploring a UNESCO World Heritage site that remains a sanctuary for whales, sharks, and scarlet macaws. It serves as a vivid reminder that Panama is not just a hub of international finance and gleaming skyscrapers; it is a guardian of some of the planet’s most vital ecosystems.

When a brand like National Geographic navigates our coastlines, it underscores what we see in the market every day: Panama is solidifying its status as a top-tier global destination. It attracts those who seek more than just a vacation—they seek connection, discovery, and the ultimate luxury of nature. For those lucky enough to live here, Coiba isn’t a distant dream on a documentary channel; it is a weekend getaway.
