As a land surrounded by sea, the country is far from short of beaches, but some of its best lie on the numerous islands off the main land. The Gulf of Chiriqui marine park is also a great spot for whale watching.

Because of its unique geographical location and its famous canal, the country’s capital is a buzzing, sociable hub and is one of the most advanced cities in the region.

A few of our favourite highlights include:

With breathtaking scenery, sensational beaches, modern infrastructure and few tourists, it’s easy to see why Panama has gained a reputation as Latin America’s most spectacular up-and-coming adventure travel destination.

 The crashing waves of the Pacific and the tranquil aqua waters of the Caribbean, three national parks, hikes through lush tropical rainforests accompanied by naturalist or indigenous guides, unforgettable snorkeling, hiking and other outdoor pleasures.

Visit modern Panama, touring the canal and the sophisticated capital as well as the country’s timeless countryside where indigenous traditions still flourish.

Panama is separated with two major seasons, the wet and dry. The dry season, between December and May is perfect for those visiting the pacific coast. The shoulder months of April and September through to November are very mild, yet rains are still common. The wet season, between May and August isn’t recommended to visit.
