Chagres National Park
I suggest bringing cash for entrance fees and local snacks, as not all places accept cards... I ran out of money on my visit and it was a hassle to find an ATM
you might wanna wear good hiking boots instead of sneakers. trust me, the terrain can be slippery and rocky. learned that the hard way!
I think it's best to start your trek by 7 AM to avoid the heat and catch the wildlife active in the morning. I started later and missed a lot!
My advice is to download an offline map of the park. Cell service can be spotty, and you don’t want to get lost while enjoying the beautiful trails!
Junglecat Panama
Bring some cash! While they accept cards, I noticed some smaller activities and tips are easier with cash on hand. Better to be safe than sorry!
Definitely try to go around 9 AM. The morning rides were less crowded, and we got better views of wildlife before it got too hot!
Don't skip the local food afterward! There are some great spots nearby that offer delicious authentic meals at reasonable prices.
Grande Island
My advice is to rent your surfboard from local vendors instead of the big shops... You'll get a better deal and might even score a chat with the locals who'll share the best spots for catching waves
