For many, Panama meant some time ago “abundance of fish”. For others, it’s just a Canal but Panama is so much more. It’s so many things, some people call it “bridge of the world, heart of the Universe, mirror of the Americas”.

Panama is an isthmus bathed by two seas, with thousands of islands, thousands of butterflies and hundreds of orchids. It is a country full of spirit that has come into modern life with such impact, it has become the financial center of the Americas, with an ever-growing architecture of skyscrapers. It’s a city where you can chose from a great number of casinos, malls, golf courses, resorts and entertainment centers.

The city itself is a luminous metropolis with a splendid coastway that dominates the entrance to the Canal with places to sightsee, hotels, docks, restaurants and all sorts of attractions.

At the same time, Panama preserves in contrast its colonial jewels like the Old Quarter, the ruins in Panama Viejo, Portobelo and the colonial forts in the Atlantic.

Just outside the city, other tourist poles are developing along the beaches, and places like Bocas del Toro, the rising star of Panama’s ecotourism, with its marine resources and different animal species seen in no other place in the world can be found just hours away.

It is a country where the Dollar is its currency, where cordiality reigns and great service is the first thing on the menu.

The expressions of its culture are discovered through its music, its dances and the originality of the crafts you’ll find here are just a handful of things our visitors never forget.

Panama is all this. Giving anyone who is anxious to discover our paths and exceptional sites a warm welcome is our number one priority.

Panama is a gem, waiting to offer you its best attractions, cordiality, and friendly spirit.
