Ancon Expeditions of Panama

Ancon Expeditions of Panama is the for-profit arm of ANCON (National Association for the Conservation of Nature). This unique model enables a portion of all proceeds from ecotours to be used in the ongoing fight to protect Panama's natural heritage.

Because of its conservationist aims, Ancon Expeditions has been able to recruit the country's foremost nature guides, all of whom are avid birders, speak flawless English and are extremely enthusiastic about the environment. They are excited about their occupations and offer a level of service that is simply superb. In Panama, the standard for nature guides and tours is set by Ancon Expeditions.

Ancon Expedition's tour offerings are extensive, and they offer regularly scheduled departures to every corner of the country from the Chiriquí Highlands, Bocas del Toro and Isla de Coiba to the Canal Zone and Kuna Yala. The company is also the exclusive tour operator for the Darién, and manages the world-famous Cana Field Station popular with birdwatchers, and the Punta Patiño Lodge.

If you're interested in arranging a day-tour around Panama City or to the Canal Zone, it is sometimes possible to stop by the office and book everything onsite. However, due to the popularity of Ancon Expedition's tour offerings, it's recommended that you book prior to your arrival in Panama, especially if you're planning on joining a multi-day tour.
