Tauck's 11-day journey, The Panama Canal & Costa Rica, offers the delightful combination of a memorable Panama Canal cruise and up-close discoveries of amazing wildlife, fascinating centuries-old cultures and man-made marvels. A 6-day voyage aboard the sporty yacht, Le Levant, includes a complete transit of the Panama Canal, as well as encounters with the Kuna and Choco peoples who live in tropical villages in the Darien Province and San Blas Islands much as they have for centuries. Cast anchor near sun-kissed beaches along the Pacific Ocean, explore a rainforest jungle on the Osa Peninsula and spend two nights in San José, Costa Rica, discovering national treasures, from coffee beans to volcanic landscapes to golden artifacts to architectural gems.

Tour prices are per person in U.S. dollars. All hotel and ship accommodations, motor coach and ship transportation, entertainment, special dinners, sightseeing, shore excursions, luggage handling, port charges, wine with dinner aboard Le Levant, and the services of Tauck Directors and local guides are included. A representative of Tauck will meet you at Tocumen International Airport, which is located just outside of Panama City. Tauck will provide you with transportation to the Intercontinental Miramar Panama in Panama City regardless of the day and time of your arrival, provided we have accurate flight arrival information at least two weeks before the start of the your tour. On the last day of the tour, Tauck will provide you with transportation from the Costa Rica Marriott Hotel to San José Juan Santamaría International Airport regardless of the day or time of your departure. You will also have transportation provided to the airport if you extend your stay through Tauck at the InterContinental Miramar.
