Caribbean and Pacific beaches, volcanoes, coffee plantations, colonial cities and world-class diving are some of the reasons that make Panama one of the most popular countries for tourism.
Bocas del Toro and San Blas are the most famous destinations for those looking for a coastal getaway, and a visit to the Panama Canal is a must-see for first-time visitors.
There are several ways to visit the Panama Canal; The most popular thing is to take a public bus to the tourist center of Miraflores, located very close to the city center, where you can watch the boats go by from the viewpoints.
Its coasts, made up of a land mass and an archipelago of islands in the Caribbean, are a quintessential Caribbean postcard with warm, crystal-clear waters, golden sand, a jungle interior and palm trees that provide shade to mask the intense heat.
The particular history of the archipelago, where a penal colony operated on its main island (Coiba) from 1919 to 2004, has meant that the marine environment has remained practically unchanged
The protected area currently covers an area equivalent to 90% of the country's surface, forming a long maritime corridor across the Pacific Ocean that extends from the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador to Cocos Island in Costa Rica.
San Blas is a place where you can relax on a Caribbean beach and snorkel among corals and starfish, forgetting about your phone for days due to the lack of Internet connection.
From the city you can take several hikes, such as India Dormida, which after a steep climb rewards you with spectacular views of the valley and is an ideal point to contemplate the sunrise
Boquete, a small city in the shadow of the majestic Barú Volcano
It is in this area where one of the most expensive varieties of coffee in the world grows: geisha coffee, which you can taste in one of the coffee farms
Chitré and Las Tablas are the two largest towns on the peninsula, and towns like Parita and Pedasí have preserved their colonial heritage very well.
These are just some examples of the rich and varied gastronomy of Panama, as we can also find pot tamale, patacones, raspao, saril, buns, Ron Abuelo. Each dish and drink has its own history and traditions, reflecting the cultural and culinary diversity of the country.
Panamanian gastronomy is characterized by its variety of dishes influenced by the diversity of nationalities that have lived in the country for decades. That is why, apart from the typical traditional food, you can find Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Peruvian food, etc.
In Panamanian food there is a certain Hispanic, indigenous and African influence mainly. Depending on the area of the country, whether it is an urban area or a coastal area, its gastronomy may vary.
Arroz con Guandú: This dish is one of the most representative dishes of Panamanian gastronomy. It consists of rice cooked with pigeon peas, seasoned with achiote, onion, chili and sometimes grated coconut.
Ceviche: Although it is a typical dish of several Latin American countries, Panamanian ceviche has its own version.
Sancocho: It is a thick and nutritious soup that is prepared with chicken, beef or pork, cassava, yam, corn and other vegetables. It is considered a comforting dish and is very popular at celebrations and family gatherings.
