Panama is a fascinating destination where wild tropical nature, modern metropolis and rich cultural heritage meet. This Central American country beckons with the iconic Panama Canal, which connects the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, but offers much more than just an engineering wonder of the world. It’s surrounded by pristine rainforests, mountainous regions, colourful underwater realms and Caribbean beaches that will appeal to adventurers, photographers and travellers looking for tranquillity.
The country is also home to indigenous Indian communities, Afro-Panamanian culture and a Spanish heritage reflected in its language, food and music. You can visit traditional villages, hike in the mountains around Boquete, explore the islands of the Bocas del Toro archipelago or relax on the pristine beaches of San Blas, inhabited by the Guna Indian tribe. Panama is both adventurous and laid-back, exotic and accessible – whether you’re looking to explore, take an active holiday or relax in a tropical paradise, we’ll tailor-make your trip with our local partner.
