Panama

Panama is a country that is teeming with natural beauty, from the towering peaks of the Andes mountains to the crystal-clear waters of the Pacific and Caribbean oceans. Here are some of the highlights that you can explore on your next visit to Panama:

The cloud forests of Chiriqui

One of the most beautiful parts of Panama is the province of Chiriqui, home to lush cloud forests that are a haven for birdwatchers. The Chiriqui highlands are blanketed in misty clouds, which provide a cool and moist environment ideal for mosses, ferns, and orchids. You can find several nature reserves in this area where you can hike through pristine rainforest and listen to the symphony of bird song.

The Panama Canal

No visit to Panama is complete without a tour of the Panama Canal. This engineering marvel was completed in 1914 and connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, making it possible to travel between them by ship. Today, the canal is used by cargo ships and cruise liners alike, and a trip along it is an unforgettable experience.

The beaches of Bocas del Toro

Bocas del Toro is a group of islands off the north-west coast of Panama that are famous for their white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. This is a popular spot for divers and snorkelers, as there are many coral reefs and colourful fish to be seen. There are also a number of sandy beaches where you can relax and soak up the sun.

The rainforests of Darien

The Darien rainforest is one of the most remote and inaccessible parts of Panama. This is the only place in Central America where Jaguars can be found in the wild, and it is also home to a variety of other animals, including monkeys, sloths, and toucans. The Darien is a challenging place to visit, but those who make the effort will be rewarded with an unspoiled wilderness that is teeming with wildlife.
