Far more than a mere bridge between the North and South of a diverse continent, Central America is a treasure trove of innumerable riches. Remnants of the Maya civilisation, dense and lush flora and bustling cities bring the promise of an unforgettable journey through space and time. Glimpses of wildlifeUNESCO-listed since 1981, Darién National Park is home to numerous endemic species. 169 species of mammals and 530 species of birds coexist on the park’s 575,000 hectares of coasts (beaches, coves, mangroves), plains (rivers, rainforests), and mountains (palm forests). Indigenous communities, such as the Emberá, and their lifestyles are also preserved here. This is the number of islands, islets, reefs, and cays spread between the Greater and Lesser Antilles, from the Bahamas to Trinidad and Tobago, from Jamaica to Saint Lucia, via Barbados. PONANT offers you the chance to discover some of the most iconic gems of this series. A sweet and invigorating opportunity to spoil your palette while surrounded by picture-postcard settings. The little-known paradise island of Guanaja, a true gem of Honduras, sits among mangroves, rainforests dotted with waterfalls, idyllic deserted beaches and coral reefs that attract marine life enthusiasts. The Caracoles people welcome you to share their traditions on the small islet of Bonacca, or simply the Cay. A special encounter not to be missed. A timeless hat Contrary to popular belief, the Panama hat comes from Ecuador, where its first appearance dates back to 4,000 years before the modern era. It was popularised by workers during the construction of the canal, who baptised it the Panama hat. US President Franklin Roosevelt contributed to its international fame during a visit to the site in 1906 when he was seen wearing one. PONANT exclusive Itineraries from pages 58 to 62.
