Phenomal Panama
Panama is more than just the Panama Canal and tropical beaches. Much more. Imagine Costa Rica some 25 years ago: authentic, warm-hearted and welcoming, but not yet overrun by tourists.
Discover a country that's a true melting pot of cultures, with a fascinating history, an impressive wild nature in its purest form, and a vibrant energy that's hard to resist.
Expect to explore authentic Panamanian towns with colorful architecture, local markets, and delicious food, hike through lush rainforests, and spot exotic wildlife like sloths, birds and monkeys. Indulge in the laid-back lifestyle of the Caribbean and Pacific coast, with its pristine beaches, clear blue waters, and coral reefs teeming with marine life. Venture inland to the impressive highlands, where you'll find picturesque towns, volcanic ranges, coffee plantations, and ancient indigenous tribes still living according to their daily traditions and culture.
BTW, did you know that Panama is one of the most biodiverse regions on earth?
