    Facing the Pacific Ocean, the capital of Panama offers, at first sight, a landscape of sky-scrapers along its famous bay. At night-time, the sight of its many illuminated towers becomes a magical sight.

Overview

Panama

Panama displays a great variety of landscapes, as this small strip of land unites the two blocks of the American continent. Acting as a backbone, the mountains run across this green and lush country from one side to the other, bordered in the North and South by the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The famous eponymous canal allows ships to go from one to the other after having sailed along its 50 miles. Not very well-known as a beach holiday destination, Panama offers however immense beaches lined with lush greenery diving into the sea. In addition to this, there are over 1,500 islands off Panama ? Heavenly!

pros

  •  Whereas the neighbouring country Costa Rica is going through a tourist boom, the marvels of Panama have remained fairly unexplored by tour operators.
  •  Within a few hours, you will switch from the jungle peopled with wild animals to dream-like beaches lined with coconut trees.

cons

  •  The constant, humid heat can turn into a serious down point for travellers.
  •  The cost of living is higher than that of neighbouring countries.

Our Editorial team's advice

If you like partying, do not miss out on the carnival of Panama City or of Azuero peninsula which takes place in February, 4 days before Ash Wednesday: it is true madness! The Kuna Indian community will let you take pictures of them for a small payment: from USD 0.25 to USD 1 per shot...
