​Beautiful Panama is one of the world's hidden gems as far as birding is concerned. Darién National Park stands as Panama's untamed wilderness frontier, a vast roadless expanse of primary rainforest and winding rivers bridging Central and South America, where impenetrable canopy shelters over 500 bird species, 100 mammals, and a primal food chain crowned by the harpy eagle—the planet's most powerful raptor with talons rivaling grizzly bear claws. The Harpy Eagle is a stunning sight but there is so much more for the birder. Scarlet macaws explode in crimson flights over emerald ridges, keel-billed toucans clack through bromeliad-laden branches, and chestnut-capped puffbirds perch in stoic silence while spider monkeys swing in raucous troops and howler monkeys reverberate the dawn with guttural roars. Let's continue! Las Nubes draw jewel-like hummingbirds including snowy-bellied and white-vented plumeleteers alongside hepatic tanagers and black-cheeked woodpecker.  Bayano Lake lowlands yield jet antbirds and pearl kites from roadside edges, San Francisco Reserve reveal Darién great birds such as black hawk-eagle, barred puffbird, royal flycatcher, olivaceous piculet, and white-ruffed manakin, while Río Tortí trails expose black antshrike and Pacific antwren amid secondary growth. The pinnacle awaits at La Escondida Farm: an early motorized canoe glide up the Chucunaque River leads to a monitored harpy nest where a seven-month-old chick flexes its wings around the nest as parents plunge from heights to snatch sloths and capuchins mid-air, delivering prey with surgical precision. Furthermore, our trip will take us along El Salto Road to uncover red-throated caracaras, bare-crowned antbirds, golden-green woodpeckers, dusky antbirds, and Choco sirystes in roadside clearings. Then continuing to the Yaviza wetlands adding the spectacled parrotlet and capped heron en route to Metetí. Our All-women groups stay in comfortable local hotels including the Avicar Hotel, the Bellagio, and also farm-based quarters.
