Everybody wants to travel during the dry season but you will be missing the most amazing lush colors and unique experiences that only happens during the rainy season (May to December). I want to share with you some reasons to escape to Panama during the wet season, my favourite time of the year.
1. Amazing Hotel discounts all over
Hotels lower the rates during the green season, which runs from May to mid-November in Panama. Some offer discounts of more than 25% less than during the high season. During September there are amazing offers of 4 nights paying only 3. You can stay at the amazing Isla Palenque Resort , a beautiful island of 160 hectares of lush jungle, framed by 7 untouched beaches, house a number of wilderness trails and hidden spaces to be explored by guests of the barefoot-luxury Beach Suites, for $499.00 per night (versus $900.00 in high season). Or stay at the renowned Canopy Lodge in the core of the Soberania National Park for 30% off.
2. No crowds in Casco, Canal, Biomuseo or SkyWalk
While summer vacationers flood the City Arqueological sites Panama La Vieja, Casco Viejo, during high season, the off months or green season are less crowded and great to explore attractions such as the unique Biodiversity Museum, The Rainforest Discovery Center in Soberania National Park at less than an hour from the City, where you could admire the tree canopy from an observation tower of 30 meters from the ground. Also in the highlands of Chiriqui, you can experience the Skyline and Zip lining during the wet months. Amazing experiences without the crowds.
3. The Rain brings us more life and colors!
The surrounded forest around the Panama Canal Watershed is more lush and green during this time of year. You can see more life and with the rain more flowers, birds, mammals and beautiful butterflies are easy to spot. On a jungle boat tour, you will be amazed by the amount of wildlife that you will encounter in one day.
4. Whale Watching tours!
During the months of July–October, you have 99% chances to encounter Humpback whales around the Pacific waters. They come to have their calves in Panama. The most popular spots to see the whales here are Contadora, The Gulf of Chiriqui, Isla Iguana and even Taboga. Though you can see dolphins and bottlenoses. You can take a whale watching tour the Pearl Archipelago.
5. You have to Experience warm Panama’s rain
Imagine yourself in the middle of the tropical rainforest while starts a heavy rain. You will be amazed by the animal’s behaviour… birds, mammals and insects moving around while the drill of the rain. You can hear new sounds… frogs or birds? You will learn the importance of keeping our forests intact to keep the rain and the life!
