Panama: reptiles, amphibians & other fauna

I moved to Panama in 2015, attracted by its plentiful and little-explored nature, its safety and stability, and the fact that it’s a great hub to explore the Neotropics (i.e. Central and South America including the Caribbean islands), a region that I had somehow neglected until then. Panama has the greatest biodiversity in Central America (greater than Costa Rica, actually), but unlike its neighbor it has never really promoted its eco-tourism industry, so it remains greatly unexplored from a birding and wildlife-watching perspective. However, a few privately-owned lodges and some excellent local birding guides have done a very good job to open birding routes and itineraries, and the country offers some great photography opportunities

I currently organize and lead wildlife photography tours in Panama for ORYX Worldwide Photographic Expeditions: http://www.oryxphotography.com/
