If off-the-beaten-path is your style of adventure, then Panama should be up next on your bucket list. This tropical paradise links Central and South America, and though it's famous for its eponymous Canal, there's so much more to this isthmus nation.
Panama hosts one of the most complex ecosystems on earth: ancient rainforests, pristine beaches, long-dormant volcanoes, and cloud-shrouded mountain jungles make up Panama's protected conservation areas. Approximately 25 per cent of the country's land mass is designated as such.
Alongside Panama's stunning landscapes are her unique marine environments. Her coastline boasts age-old mangroves, untouched white sand beaches, and is the only place on earth where, due to her narrowness and location, one can watch the sun rise over the Pacific, and set in the Atlantic.
With rich biodiversity, a unique mix of local and indigenous cultures, a rugged, timeworn land, and over 200 islands to explore, Panama is an unmissable hidden gem for your next charter.
