Venture deep into one of the least-known rainforests on Earth during this 13-day expedition across Halmahera, the largest island in North Maluku, Indonesia. Guided by an experienced IAJG instructor and Indigenous Tabaru experts, you’ll learn essential jungle survival skills in a truly remote environment.

What draws people to the Darien Gap? Perhaps it’s the overwhelming biodiversity, the vast sweep of untouched jungle, or the pull of one of the world’s last true wilderness frontiers. While most visitors only scratch the surface—perhaps visiting a riverside village near the Pan-American Highway—this expedition goes much further.

Led by expert guides, this 8-day, 7-night journey takes you deep into the heart of the Darien. You’ll navigate winding rivers by boat and dugout canoe, trek through dense rainforest and across the Serranía El Sapo mountains, and finally arrive at the remote Pacific Coast. Along the way, you’ll experience a side of Panama that few outsiders ever witness.

The Camino Real, a path used in the 17th and 18th centuries by Spaniards to transfer silver, gold and other treasures from Peru to Spain, was the first thoroughfare that connected the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and marked the beginning of Panama as a crossroads of the world.
