While Panama is most famous for its canal, the country is one of the greatest undiscovered destinations in the Americas. The minimally developed and well-preserved natural scenery is some of the best in Central America, offering an uncrowded and inexpensive experience for intrepid travellers. Often overshadowed by neighbouring Costa Rica, Panama has some of the finest birding, snorkeling and deep-sea fishing in the region. If you love the outdoors, and want to be the first on your block to visit an untapped ecotourism destination, then Panama is perfect for you.
