Chiriquí

Escape to Chiriquí, known as the "breadbasket" of Panama, where you'll find a mix of stunning landscapes and activities.

The province also boasts pristine beaches and islands with excellent sports fishing opportunities. The thriving David City is there when you're ready for a bit of urban life. Located in western Panama, Chiriquí is bordered by Bocas del Toro to the north, Costa Rica to the west, Veraguas to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the south.

Queenstown

Queenstown, the self-proclaimed "Adventure Capital of the World", has, without a doubt, earned this title. The birthplace of bungy jumping, and home to all manner of adrenaline pumping activities, from luge and jet-boating to canyon swinging, attracts thousands of adventure lovers every year. Set on the edge of the giant Lake Wakatipu, in the Otago region, this intimate town transforms itself into a buzzing ski resort during winter, thanks to its two appealing ski-fields that suit sport lovers of any abilities.

Bordeaux

Celebrating wine, gastronomy, arts and culture, Bordeaux is a city that represents the very essence of the French spirit. Its heartbeat hums in cobblestone streets, sunlit quays, and the hum of cafés alive with conversation. Here, centuries-old châteaux meet avant-garde galleries, while the Garonne flows steadily under graceful bridges. Bordeaux invites you to savour life slowly—sip, wander, and lose yourself in layers of flavour, history, and quiet elegance that linger long after you leave.

Portland

Portlanders respond eagerly to the summons of the city's unofficial motto: "Keep Portland Weird."
