Panama

Where two oceans meet: the Canal, paradise islands, jungle and a city looking to the future

Panama is the bridge between two worlds: North and South America, Atlantic and Pacific, modernity and tradition. A small country with surprising diversity: skyscrapers, virgin jungle, Caribbean islands and indigenous cultures.
Panama is much more than the Canal, although the Canal alone would be worth a trip. It is the country that joins two continents and two oceans, and that unique geographic position has created extraordinary diversity: the Darién jungle (one of the most impenetrable in the world), the San Blas islands inhabited by the Guna Yala, the beaches of Bocas del Toro, the volcanoes of the interior. Panama City surprises: a skyline of Dubai-worthy skyscrapers next to the colonial Casco Viejo, neighborhoods with history like San Felipe and vibrant nightlife. It is the most cosmopolitan capital in Central America. But the best-kept secret is the islands. San Blas (Guna Yala) offers practically deserted white sand beaches, managed by indigenous communities. Bocas del Toro has relaxed Caribbean vibes and surf. The Pearl Islands, in the Pacific, are the refuge of those seeking exclusivity. Panama concentrates a lot in a small space.

Experiences

Panama offers experiences ranging from watching ships cross between oceans to sleeping on a deserted island managed by indigenous people.

Partial Canal transit

Sailing through the Panama Canal, crossing the Miraflores and Pedro Miguel locks, and understanding firsthand this engineering marvel.

Deserted island in San Blas

Being dropped off on an island with palm trees, white sand and crystal water. Just you, a picnic and the Caribbean. The Guna make it possible.

Quetzal watching

In Boquete, one of the best places in the world to see the quetzal, the sacred bird of the Mayans. Early start required but worth it.

Casco Viejo at night

Walking through the colonial neighborhood when lit up, dining on a rooftop with skyline views, dancing salsa in a plaza. Panamanian nightlife is vibrant.

Panama has accommodations for every experience: luxury skyscrapers in the city, colonial boutiques in Casco Viejo, overwater cabins in San Blas and mountain lodges in Boquete.
