Panama

Panama, a captivating bridge between two continents, entices travellers with its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture. Famous for the iconic Panama Canal, this dynamic country offers much more than its engineering marvel. Panama City, the cosmopolitan capital, is a blend of old and new, where sleek skyscrapers rise above the historic Casco Viejo district with its cobblestone streets and colonial architecture. Beyond the urban allure, Panama boasts pristine beaches on both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, ideal for snorkelling, diving, and soaking up the sun. Nature enthusiasts will revel in the lush rainforests of the Darien Gap and the biodiverse wonders of Coiba National Park, home to exotic wildlife and pristine coral reefs. The indigenous Guna Yala region, with its idyllic San Blas Islands, invites visitors to experience authentic culture and breathtaking seascapes.
