Panama has to be considered as one of the leading destinations for students interested in tropical biology and rainforest preservation. Its tremendous biodiversity and the accessibility of its tropical forests make Panama a paradise for nature and ecological studies. Our programs will expose participants to the natural wonders of lowland tropical forest, cloud forest and coral reef ecosystems. Culturally, students will have the opportunity to interact with and learn about two indigenous groups, the Emberas and the campesinos, and to experience city life in the developing world.
As a land bridge between the two continents, Panama is a meeting place of over 960 species of birds from North and South America. Its tremendous biodiversity and the accessibility of its tropical forests make Panama a paradise for nature and ecological studies. Panama itself is a flower garden with more than 1500 species of trees and more than 10,000 species of plants. With two oceans washing its shores, Panama is rich in marine life.
