Climb a volcano, play on a beach, stalk sloths, turtles and monkeys on a weeklong trip to Panama with climate-change scientist Sarah Aciego.

The Big Chill Adventures’ trip includes visiting the Kuna and Embara tribes, indigenous people living on the Isthmus, and trekking Sendero de Los Quetzales, one of Panama’s most beautiful trails. It runs between Cerro Punta and Boquete, crisscrossing Río Caldera.

“Panama offers amazing landscapes, cultures, culinary delights and biodiversity,” Aciego said.
