Why Panama Unscripted
We don't sell packages. We craft experiences — custom, authentic, and built around who you are and what makes you come alive.
What We Do
Rooftop bars the tourists don't know about. The fish market at dawn. Casco Viejo after the tour buses leave.
Turquoise water, reggae rhythms, and islands most visitors never reach.
Ceviche, patacones, and seafood so fresh it hasn't decided it's lunch yet.
Sloths, toucans, poison dart frogs. The kind of morning that changes people.
Two oceans. Hundreds of beaches. We know the ones worth the trip.
I'm not a tour operator. I'm not a travel agent. I'm someone who genuinely loves this country and gets a little ridiculous about sharing it with people.
"Panama changed me. Now I spend my days making sure it changes other people too — in the best possible way."
I speak the language. I know the people. I know where the fishermen go at 5am, which family runs the best sancocho in the city, and how to get to that waterfall without the four-hour detour. Bilingual, resourceful, and genuinely good at solving problems — that's how my clients describe me.

"Heather took us to places we never would have found on our own. The fish market at sunrise, a rooftop we had entirely to ourselves, the most incredible ceviche of my life. This was not a vacation — it was an experience."
"We had one day in Panama City off a cruise ship. Heather made it feel like a week. She knew exactly where to take us, handled everything, and made us feel like locals instead of tourists. We're already planning to come back."
"I was nervous traveling alone in a new country. Heather made me feel completely safe and at home from the moment I landed. Her local knowledge is extraordinary. Best travel decision I've ever made."
