I know it’s not cheap but the Train Trip to Panama City, if offered is one of the best ways to see the most of the country. You will take the train one way and bus the other, be shown around Panama City and see some of the best of the country on the train trip.

A trip to either Fort San Lorenzo and the Gatun Locks which would also show you how the locks operate which is quite fascinating or a trip to Portobelo which is another are where there are ruins of Spanish forts, a historic church and other sights.

For something a bit more adventurous they may offer a trip to an Embera Village - these villages are in the middle of a national park and they live a very traditional way of life - you will really see the jungle and the culture of an indigenous people.

Wahoo Willy’s was sold a few months ago and I know the new owner - I am not sure if he has finished his planned renovations - he is upgrading the place and creating more of a fishing retreat… I will try to call him tomorrow to see if what his timeline is…

Coiba from Boca Chica is a long haul - most folks head there from Santa Catalina. There is only the ranger station to stay at and previous arrangements are necessary and you need to be very self sufficient as there’s no bedding, cooking utensils etc. so you need to go with a tour company. I haven’t any info on Exploration Panama.
