Truly Panama

PANAMA

Truly Panama is a destination specialist offering bespoke travel throughout the country’s varied landscapes, from Caribbean coastlines to rainforest interiors. Their approach centres on creating meaningful experiences that connect travellers to Panama’s cultural heritage and natural environments, while investing in long-term community and conservation initiatives.

In Portobelo, they run educational recycling events with local schoolchildren, combining environmental awareness with creativity. Under the guidance of a local artist, students paint recycling bins that are then placed throughout the town, encouraging collective responsibility through visual storytelling. Within the Chagres rainforest, Truly Panama partners with the Embera community to maintain access to a waterfall that holds cultural and ecological significance. They have also funded the installation of a rainwater reserve tank, supporting essential water access in the area. Their most ambitious project to date is Panama’s first underwater museum, developed in collaboration with Reef2Reef Restoration Foundation. The museum features sculptures inspired by Congo culture, designed to be covered by coral fragments from nearby nurseries — supporting reef regeneration and honouring local heritage in equal measure.
