ABOUT TRULY PANAMA

Private Travel, Thoughtfully Designed for You

We design journeys from the ground up, shaped around how you travel and what you want to experience.

The Vision Behind Truly Panama

Meet Jonathan Zelcer

Truly Panama was founded by Jonathan Zelcer, a travel professional with more than 15 years of experience designing private journeys throughout the country. His deep regional knowledge and long-standing local relationships allow travelers to experience Panama through a more connected and authentic perspective.

Over the years, Jonathan has developed a network built on trust, access, and local expertise — creating journeys that go beyond traditional tourism and reveal the people, places, and stories that define the destination.

Jonathan is also the President and Co-Founder of MUSAP, Panama’s first underwater museum and a marine conservation initiative dedicated to protecting coastal ecosystems through restoration, education, and sustainable tourism. This commitment reflects a core belief behind Truly Panama: that meaningful travel should create a positive connection with the places that make it possible.
