“My trip to Panama was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, capturing both the beauty and challenges of the country in an action-packed 2-week programme. The team were incredibly organised and supportive, and their local knowledge made everything run smoothly. I would love to travel with Challenges Abroad again, and would highly recommend this amazing opportunity.”
