Known as 'The Bridge of the World', Panama is a curious and exhilarating combination of natural beauty and diverse culture. It is a place where there is always something new to discover and the locals are renowned for their hospitality and openness. There is a wide range of accommodation available ranging from guesthouses to world-class hotels.
While Panama is most famous for its canal, it is also one of the best-kept secrets in the Americas. The minimally developed and well-preserved natural scenery is some of the best in Central America. With some of the finest snorkelling, bird-watching and deep-sea fishing around, along with spectacular terrain ranging from jungles to beaches, Panama is an ideal destination for un-crowded, fun in the sun, adventure holidays.
Its diverse range of natural environments presents vast choice for the intrepid traveller. Being an isthmus, the country has miles of gorgeous coastline scattered with secluded sandy beaches adorned by clear tropical water. Not many countries can boast of having the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean within two hours of each other. Such an environment makes for excellent scuba diving, snorkelling, fishing and sea kayaking.
Few destinations can rival the quality and quantity of Panama’s attractions. With 1,500 islands dotting both the Caribbean and Pacific coasts, some of the most accessible and bio-diverse rainforests on the planet; and highlands that are both culturally interesting and scenically beautiful, Panama has plenty of activities for any visitor. There are also interesting historical sites, seven living Indian cultures to experience and a cosmopolitan capital full of shopping and nightlife. Add to this the plethora of sporting activities on offer and you will find that Panama is one of best undiscovered destinations in the world.
