Speaking from experience, we always strongly recommend travel insurance.  This yoga adventure is a big investment of time, energy, imagination and funds and travel insurance is your safe guard in the event that an unforeseen situation arises.  You will also want to know that you are covered medically if a sloth bites off a finger (kidding!!).

At this time, no vaccinations are required for travel to Panama. However, we recommend that you are up to date on all routine vaccinations and encourage you to review the latest guidance on the CDC page for Panama before traveling, as recommendations can change. Any specific vaccination or health-related questions should be discussed with your personal physician.

Absolutely! The food is delicious and, as often as possible, locally sourced. All dietary requests should be able to be accommodated provided that you notify us at least four weeks in advance. Please contact The Travel Yogi with any dietary questions.

Yes!  Wifi is readily available at both properties.

Nope!  Our home-away-from-home in Bocas del Toro is fully stocked with mats, blocks and straps. You only need to bring your own if you’re particularly attached to personal gear.

Electricity in Panama runs on 110-120V.  Panama utilizes the North American plug types A and B. You may need an adaptor and converter, it will be up to you to check your individual electronics.

Once you book your trip, you’ll receive access to our travel app where you’ll find our suggested packing list to help you get trip-ready. In general, we recommend bringing comfortable yoga clothes, casual wear, a swimsuit and sturdy walking shoes for excursions.

Panama has a warm, tropical climate year-round. Daytime temperatures typically range from 75–90°F (23–32°C) with high humidity and occasional short tropical showers.

Naturally! Of course, there is the gorgeous Caribbean with options ranging from surf waves and rolling waters to the still bath-like waters of La Piscina.  Or, if you want to forgo the ocean exploration, you can relax just outside of your room at the pool.

Whether your decide to surf all week or gallop off on a steed, there is more than enough time to book these excursions when you arrive. There is so much to absorb that it’s best not to book before arrival and, especially for the surf, you’ll want to get the local report first.  See what you feel like when you reach the good life and don’t forget to block off some chill time.

Wildlife sightings are always a highlight, but nature is wonderfully unpredictable—so while we hope you see plenty, Mother Nature ultimately calls the shots. In Panama, you may spot sloths, howler monkeys, toucans, and other colorful tropical birds in the rainforest. Out on the water around Bocas del Toro, keep an eye out for playful dolphins, along with vibrant reef fish, starfish, rays, and other marine life while snorkeling in the warm Caribbean Sea. 🙂

In Panama, it’s best to stick with filtered or bottled water for drinking. Both of our accommodations will provide plenty of fresh and filtered drinking water. You will want to bring a reusable water bottle with you for daily use and while out on walks, drives and out on the water.  

The Travel Yogi has you covered when it comes to your domestic flight! We’ll get you all to the Albrook airport for the quick 50-minute flight to Bocas del Toro.  From there it is approximately a 30-minute drive to our location.  We’re giving you the best of city life as well as the secluded charm of the island.  Only about 15 minutes of the drive is on a paved road, with the last half going a bit slower on a dirt road with the ocean on your right and tropical lushness on your left.

Like all beautiful tropical location, yes, there are bugs.  While we do recommend that you take a mozzie spray, the natural ocean breeze generally keeps these guys at bay.
