Where to Go
Four Worlds.
One Country.
From Caribbean islands to highland coffee country, Panama packs more variety into a small space than anywhere on earth.
While Europe feels political and flights cost more than ever, Panama delivers world-class beaches, rainforests, and the iconic Canal — all priced in US dollars, no exchange rate, no attitude.
With airfares up, political tensions high, and the dollar stretched thin in Europe, smart American travelers are discovering what 200+ families already know.
Panama's official currency is the US dollar. Zero exchange rates, zero conversion fees. A beach resort dinner costs $18. A craft beer? $3. Your budget works here.
40–60% less than US costsNo political hostility. No awkward conversations. Panama has one of the most American-friendly cultures in Latin America — the Canal Zone legacy runs deep. You'll feel at home.

Since 2017, Franklin Powell has guided over 200 North American travelers through Panama — not on bus tours, but through the real country. The neighborhoods, the people, the hidden beaches, the best coffee farmers. Hop On Panama is built on one principle: share everything we know.
From weekend escapes to week-long adventures — here's what American travelers say about Panama.
"I was nervous about traveling solo to Latin America. Franklin's team made it completely seamless. The San Blas Islands were the most beautiful place I've ever seen — and I've been to Bora Bora."
"We'd been planning a European trip for two years but with everything going on, we pivoted to Panama last minute. Best decision we ever made. The Canal alone is worth the flight. We're already planning our return."
"The USD currency thing is a game-changer. I spent $1,800 for 5 days including everything and I was eating like a king. The Boquete coffee tour was worth the whole trip on its own."
