Costa Rica/Panama short notice

Hello! We are going to Panama in a week, but our guide just cancelled. We have 5 or possibly 6 nights depending on flight times to go to CR or Panama. Any recommendations on guides or where to stay that won’t take crazy amount of travel time from the airports? Maximum 5 hours from the airport if possible. Thank you for your advice!

    That’s frustrating! You can see a lot in Panama without a guide. The Pipeline road is an hour from the airport and all the forest around the Gamboa area is good – lots of trip reports. Various accommodation options too. You can add on a trip to the Canopy Lodge for a few other species or also go up to the Los Quetzales lodge for Cacomistles etc (might be more like 8 hours from the airport though). I have never used a guide in Panama – it is very easy.
