Explore this bustling city with its cobblestoned lanes, red-tiled roofs, and palm covered hills. You may want to spend the afternoon at Bahia de las Banderas with its glistening blue waters and powdery beaches.

Made up of nine bays on the coast of Oaxaca, Huatulco is an unblemished tropical site for rest and relaxation. Tourists can engage in local customs and shop for beautiful native clothes in plazas such as La Nata, located on the main square.

Once a sleepy fishing village, San Juan del Sur is now the most popular travel and vacation destination on Nicaragua’s Pacific coast, offering a lively mix of local culture and wonderful natural attractions.

Perched at the tip of a sandy peninsula (its name means “sandy point”), the entire city of Puntarenas is within easy walking distance from the port. The people of this city have a reputation for friendliness and have long welcomed tourists to the sunny beaches that encircle the city.

Fuerte Amador, located at the entrance to the Panama Canal, offers a delightful blend of natural beauty and cultural attractions. You may opt to join a tour to Gatun Lake, at the heart of the Panama Canal, which is a marvel of engineering and a natural wonder. Take a boat tour, where you can see massive cargo ships navigating the narrow channels, while surrounded by lush rainforest, and encounter an incredible variety of wildlife, including monkeys, sloths, and exotic birds. Don't miss the opportunity to explore the nearby Biomuseo, a fascinating museum designed by Frank Gehry, which showcases Panama's rich biodiversity and geological history. Wherever the day takes you, Fuerte Amador truly encapsulates the essence of Panama's natural beauty and cultural diversity.

Today we experience the full transit of the Panama Canal. See the immense lift locks raise and lower the passing vessels and great volumes of water rushing by. Enjoy the scenery on either side of the canal with mangrove swamps, tropical plants, trees, and bird life. As we cruise through the canal there is a detailed narration of this colossal undertaking that cost $367 million in 1914!

In the 17th century this walled city was a target for every pirate on the high seas. It has many architectural treasures along its narrow streets with Spanish inspired facades and balconies. You may want to take a ride to the top of La Popa Hill for great views of the city, the old fort, and a 17th century monastery. Purchase and take home some of, what is widely considered, the best coffee in the world!

We disembark in Fort Lauderdale and transfer to the airport for our flight back to Canada.
