Some tropical vacations are just about sun and sand.

While we certainly won't turn down a spell of rum-soaked beachside bliss, Panama is better suited to travelers in a more active mood.

Depending on the day, you might find yourself weaving deftly through the placid canals of a mangrove forest to spot sloths and caimans, or stepping inside the buzzing space of an indoor market for a seafood ceviche sampler.

Panama City is one of the most fascinating cities in Central America, but as we’ve explored the country further, we’ve discovered plenty of experiences worth having on both coasts.

In this 10-day itinerary, you’ll begin in Panama City’s Casco Viejo before journeying to a private island resort just off the Pacific coast. From there, you’ll head inland into Panama’s lush mountains, where you’ll enjoy whitewater rafting and a guided coffee plantation tour.

For fans of architecture, Mexico City offers a bounty of sites to explore.

Pritzker Prize-winning Luis Barragán rose to the forefront of the Mexican modernist movement with his famous Casa Pedregal, an architectural study of light and perception. As you move through the rooms, you discover that each space offers distinct rewards, from an outcrop of volcanic rock anchoring the home to its surroundings to a pink wall that shifts to ultraviolet in the afternoon light.

Explore why this stunning property perfectly showcases the “emotional architecture” for which Barragán became known: andrewharper.com/read/article/casa-pedregal-luis-barragan-mexico-city/

Don’t let Mexico City’s historic façades fool you.

We explored the oldest capital in the Americas, focusing on properties with fewer than 30 rooms. During our trip, we experienced everything from a sophisticated urban oasis to a three-floor townhouse in a neighborhood bursting with boutiques, restaurants and cafés.

One hideaway is situated behind a wrought-iron fence across from quiet Lincoln Park. Another opened within what is possibly Mexico City’s most avant-garde high-rise.

Discover which of these unique properties became our favorite Mexico City hideaway:
