Panama FAQ

• What is Panama known for?

  When you get past the first big thing you think of when you think of Panama, the Panama Canal, Panama is known for its beautiful beaches on both the Caribbean and Pacific coasts. They are perfect for a fun-in-the-sun vacation or a dream romantic getaway. There are great opportunities to participate in water sports, from surfing to jet skiing to parasailing. The beach towns and Panama`s cities both sizzle with great nightlife. Apart from the beaches and the cities, Panama is known for its diverse flora and fauna, much of which is found in nationally-protected wetlands and rainforests.

  Visitors to Panama usually spend a few days in the glittering capital, Panama City, near the Panama Canal. Also near the Panama Canal, you can find Soberania National Park, a beautiful protected wetland home to unique flora and fauna. Playa Blanca and Playa Bonita are popular beach resorts to the west of the capital and the canal. If you are venturing to the west of the country, you can enjoy snorkeling in the Bocas del Toro Archipelago along the Caribbean coast, or hiking in the volcanic national parks of Boquete.
