About this Event
The dates are set. The passports are coming out. The vacation requests are being submitted. And Panama is ready for us.
Welcome to Panama Popout 2027, a curated city and island escape for travelers who want culture, beauty, connection, and a little main character energy in one unforgettable experience.
This is not a basic vacation. This is the trip where you dress up, step out, explore somewhere new, laugh until your stomach hurts, and return home with stories worth retelling.
Come celebrate your birthday. Bring your best friend. Mark an anniversary. Gather your favorite people. Or arrive solo and leave with an entirely new circle.
Your Home Base: Hotel Riu Plaza Panama
Stay in the heart of Panama City's financial district, close to shopping, dining, and city attractions. The hotel has an outdoor pool with a poolside bar, a fitness center, multiple restaurants, three bars, a generous breakfast buffet, 24-hour room service, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
Why Panama?
Bold city energy. Historic streets. Island water. Afro-Panamanian culture. Indigenous heritage. Skyline views. One day you may be sailing toward an island, the next riding through Panama City in a classic Volkswagen.
