PANAMA
This country is best known for the giant Panama Canal built in 1914 that links the Pacific and the Caribbean, and is one of the great engineering feats of the 20th century.
Rainforest
Panama is also home to magnificent tropical scenery, including some of the world’s most untouched areas of rainforest.
Wildlife
There’s a diverse wildlife population, with some species that can't be found anywhere else on the planet and that you'll experience first-hand on holidays here.
Checquered History
There are also plenty of vestiges of the country’s wild history of pirates and smuggled gold: colonial forts, shipwrecks, cannons and towering city walls - all of which tell a colourful story.
