It is with great excitement that IOS announces an international trip to the tropical forests of Panama! IOS will be traveling down to Panama June 26th – July 5th, 2018 (Click Here for Itinerary). IOS is partnering with Josh Engel and his new tour company, Red Hill Birding, for what is going to be a trip that delights birders whether it’s your first trip to the tropics or your tenth.
We will be staying in the Canopy Family’s now famous eco-lodges, the Canopy Tower in the central lowlands, and the Canopy Lodge in the foothills of El Valle de Antón.
A post-trip extension (July 5th – July 11th, 2018) will have us traveling to the Canopy Camp, the Canopy Family’s newest location in the heart of Eastern Panama’s Darién Province! Here, we will enjoy a new host of birds, including many that are endemic to Panama or the Chocó biological region. It is at the Canopy Camp where we have the greatest chance of seeing a Harpy Eagle.
