Darien with Ancon?
Want to visit Panama esp to see birds. Ancon Expeditions Birds of Panama trip looks great - even goes to Darien. Has anyone done this or something similar with Ancon?

I have no experience with Ancon Expeditions. One of my best friends is a major birder and travels with Bob Ridgley. Her favorite spot in Panama is the Canopy Tower and she has reported seeing over three hundred species during the four day stay. Panama is fabulous. Enjoy your visit.

I agree that Ancon do a great job, now the owner reasonably well and can quite safely recommend them as one of the better operators in Panama.
Was just at a small basic/rustic lodge 2-1/2 hours south of Panama City this weekend called Burbayar Jungle Lodge... They are located at the narrowest point of the isthmus, right among the peaks of the Cordillera so they see an amazing mix of birds and animals - Pacific coast species, Caribbean coast species, the north-south migrating species... While rustic I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms etc and the friendliness of the staff. Well worth checking out if you are a birder or any other type of nature fan...
Cheers,
Andrew
