“An important meeting point” – thus we could describe the narrow isthmus that
bears the name of this understated but interesting nation. Any visit starts at
Panama City and it would be a challenge to ignore that nearby and imposing feat
of engineering: the Panama Canal. The large ships passing through are impressive
but this is just the start of the discovery here, the isthmus also representing
one of the most biodiverse areas of the planet as it is literally the place
where north meets south. Away from the centre we can find a quiet countryside
with beautiful sandy beaches and high misty cloud forest, pastoral farmland and
dense jungle. Whether you wish for a more urbane experience or one that’s a
little more rustic, Panama accommodates.
Good to Know
Panama City holds the world’s only urban tropical rainforest in Soberanía National Park, where Pipeline Road trails host over 500 bird species, jaguars, and howler monkeys.
What to Eat
Panamanian empanadas are beloved street food snacks, fried golden-brown pastries stuffed with savory fillings and sold for about $1 each. Grab them fresh at Panama City’s Mercado de Mariscos or street carts for authentic bites alongside patacones.
