Earth Journeys, created by Tauck and BBC Earth! The Panama Canal & Costa Rica is part of our our Earth Journeys collection featuring custom-made BBC Earth on-tour film vignettes plus other select BBC Earth touches. Combine the magic of a Panama Canal crossing with a Costa Rica cruise on our 12-day The Panama Canal & Costa Rica and enjoy up-close discoveries of amazing wildlife, fascinating centuries-old cultures and man-made marvels, and two-night stays in Panama City and San José. A 7-night voyage aboard one of Ponant's new Explorer Series yachts, Le Dumont d'Urville, features a complete transit of the Panama Canal, and an opportunity for cultural exchange with locals in Panama and along Costa Rica's Pacific coast. Explore the rich interior and its abundant wildlife with our expert naturalists. Go swimming or snorkeling, land on islands via tender or Zodiac craft, visit a gold museum in San José and learn how coffee beans are harvested and brewed to perfection.
