6 of us just got back from 8 days in Panama. Christian Gernez is the guy. He grew up in Panama, went to college in the states studying marine biology, returned to Panama to become a naturalist guide and started his own tour agency called Sendero Panama. He made our trip fabulous. His wife Micaela Gernez Schmidt-- Mica for short--set... More

Christian and Mica put together the most fascinating trips imaginable, introducing us to so much richness in just 1 week....One of us had discovered their company, Sendero Panama, after painstaking research on travel blogs and postings. While they were consistently recommended online, we were all blown away by how wonderful they were to work with. Mica and Christian patiently emailed... More

Four of us spent ten hours with Christian Gernez in early February for a walking tour of Pipeline Road and a visit to the Panama Rainforest Discovery Center (PRDC). This was the highlight of our week in Panama. Christian is highly knowledgeable with regard to birds, animals, and plants as well as the history of Panama. He showed us many... More

Christian and Mica organized this whole trip for the six of us and everything was exceptional. From restaurant recommendations in Panama City when we were on our own to multiple flights across Panama, this couple did it all. The most wonderful part was that our guide,Christian, knew the history, politics, and culture of Panama, Panamanians, and the Indigenous people. The... More

Micaela's and Christian's US connections enhanced conversations and helped relieve our concerns about being stereotypically arrogant Americans while asking possibly sensitive questions. Having a "zoner" guide also added a lot of social and historical insight. Sendero Panama always focused on what interested us and really knew the answers. If they didn't know, they didn't make up an answer. They had... More

My son and I went on a 10 day birding tour of Panama all organized by Sendero Panama. This is an excellent company who provided us with private guides of the highest caliber. We saw almost 400 species in the 10 days including 200 lifers. Carlos Fonseca was our wonderful guide in the Chiriqui. We saw of course the highland... More

The amount of information and the exceptional service provided by them ended in our family booking two more toursñ Soberania National park and a day at teh Embera Village. They made... More

While the Panama Canal and Gatun lake are the product of man labor, the area can't be more natural. We explore the lake as part of a program with Sendero Panama tours and saw a ton of wildlife. Several groups of Howler monkeys, also Capuchin and Tamarin monkeys, two species of Sloth, many birds and giant crocodiles. I read about... More

We started the wildlife viewing as soon as we step into the van, 10 minutes up the road the guide tells the driver to stop; a three toed sloth he points out in a tree. It was the sign of how magnificent the morning was... More
