Panama

Occupying the southernmost portion of the Central American isthmus connecting continental North and South America, Panama boasts a famous man-made canal, lush jungle interior and stunning coastlines along both the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea.

Discover the tropical turquoise waters and coral reefs of the Caribbean coast, then head south over the scenic continental divide to the world-class surf breaks and sparkling beaches of the Pacific coast.

Learn about local indigenous and colonial histories, admire the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal, relax in laid-back surf towns and discover the nightlife of Panama City, the nation’s dynamic capital.

Take a look at our Panama Active Explorer itinerary and join us as we discover the best of Panama.

Culture and heritage passed on to the young tribe members at The Embera Indigenous Village
