Panama…As a link between two oceans or as a bridge between two continents. That's how you see us. But Panama is more than a place of transit, as has always been seen. We are, in many aspects, a country of contrasts. In our music, in our clothes, in our landscapes, in our ideas. Perhaps it is because we are the peoples that have been conforming it: original brothers, the indigenous, the Spaniards of the colony, the Maroons, the Afro-Antilles, the Chinese, the Americans, the Colombians, the Argentines, the Arabs, the Hebrews and the Venezuelans.

We are a country of banks and global services. We are a country of farms and cowboys. We are a desert and we are a country of humid tropical forest and we are a central mountain range that is composed by high and steep cliffs formed by volcanic peaks and coffee plantations. We are a cosmopolitan and vibrant city. We are Bocas del Toro, with our dream Caribbean coast. To the east of the Panama Canal we are an impenetrable jungle. We are images of postcards in Guna Yala. We are a country united with indigenous reserves jealous of their purest traditions and a high degree of autonomy. We even have a huge screw that rises above all the buildings in the center of the city the modern architecture of the 21st century. Want more info? Just visit City of Panama City Facebook.

We are many famous Panamanians: Rubén Blades, Roberto Durán, Rommel Fernández, Manuel Antonio Noriega -yes, he is also known beyond our borders and yes, they ask us about him-. We are Omar Torrijos. We are Pedro Navaja, why not? And we are many Panamanians who from day to day receive you, dear traveler, to offer you the best of our land. Where to start, then?

We are without a doubt the Canal. The main tourist attraction of Panama is undoubtedly the Panama Canal, the biggest destination Panama City. This wonderful work of engineering defined our country. Modern history was created around it, but it had been planned since the 16th century. For a long time we managed an inventory of almost one thousand four hundred tourist attractions. Most of these attractions are in natural national parks. And despite everything, it took us a long time to become the tourist destination we are today. We are a country to discover in many aspects.

For some reason we had never been an economic destination. Perhaps the fact that the currency was the dollar contributed. However, this very fact is what gives us stability in the country, among other things. The use of the dollar as currency is fundamental to have a thriving economy like ours. We are a country with a very stable political situation. And we have changed. Today, we are a known destination for our very accessible prices. The tourism of purchases is one of our props at present. And all this opened us to the world. This and some other things like security. We provide high security as presented in Panama City Beach Police Facebook.

Like the use of the English language. In Panama it is easier to find people who speak English than in other countries of Central America. The American presence for almost a century probably made this easier. The truth is that we maintain an open, cosmopolitan mentality. We will receive you well. Panama is a city with around two million people. And we fit more. Imagine what is coming for the World Youth Day, and we do not say no to opening our houses. And we will receive you, dear traveler.



We have a good public transport service compared to the rest of our neighboring countries and probably with most of the Latin American countries. This system includes the recent subway and air metro lines that cross the city. A city that is cosmopolitan not only because of the number of people it inhabits and its origin. A city that for its skyscrapers also looks like this, cosmopolitan. However, we are proud of our country and our culture.

We are musical. Oh, yes, we like salsa. In Panama we have numerous towns with rhythmic names: Chiriquí, Coclé, Boquete; Penonomé, Pedasí, Admiral; Panama, Tonosí, Guararé; Guarareeeeé… Spanish music combined with typical Central American rhythms form a harmonious unity. You will miss them when you return to your city.

We are plastics, even when the stones were canvases, as in the petroglyphs of the Anton Valley. We even painted fashion by inventing colored fabrics. The moles of Guna Yala are an example of the vibrant contrast of colors, shapes, shadows and overlays in one of the most interesting garment fabrics in the world. Just try at least once in your life.

Colon formed the route by which all the riches of America that came mainly from Peru and Ecuador had to pass on their way to the metropolis. In the opposite direction it was the route through which spices and refreshments passed to the colony. The ruins of Portobelo and San Lorenzo are witnesses of those glorious times. Both are historical sites protected as World Heritage by UNESCO.
