Booked in at Ivans B&B subject to confirmation, then hopefully over to the Volcan/Bocquette area, plenty to fill in 3 months is quite a good time!! It seems I will get to walk the pipeline road :_)

Any help/suggestions appreciated

Coati - My wife and I spent some time in Gamboa at Ivan's this past May. Trip report posted sometime in the summer. PM me with any questions the report doesn't answer; I'll be happy to pass along any other details.

There are a number of reports in the vacation section, including mine from a while back

With that kind of time, you may have time to get to some places off the beaten track such as the Azuero Peninsula, Isla Coiba, etc. Enjoy!

Sounds fantastic! The 2008 bird finding guide for Panama is a useful book to get although the birding seems to be great just about everywhere in Panama. Already looking forward to the report and pictures!

I'm hoping to visit Panama in Feb or March (staying with a friend in Panama City) for a while, than perhaps spending some time in Costa Rica too. However, 3 months is just showing off!!!!! I'll be lucky to get 3 weeks!!!

Well, three weeks will be a nice intro to Panama ... (that is the same length of my stay when I visited).

Hahha Jon; btw thx to everyone else; very nice reort above Venicioguess I am lucky will soon be broke too lol

having lots of trouble finding places to stay though.
Gamboa is sorted, as is our first 4 days near the city.
Hoped to go west to Amistad ie Chirriqui but cant find a house ; hoped to rent for a month ;ideas welcome. (couple of possibles on VRBO)

After that will probably head for the seaside somewhere, and then MAYBE Darien

I really could do with some more suggestions of good, moderately priced accom
