Discover the destination
While the Panama Canal is a major tourist attraction, it is not the only asset of the country, far from it. With a beautiful architecture from the colonial period, the "old city" of Panama offers a charming destination. On the Atlantic side, the impressive fortifications of the Caribbean in Portobelo and San Lorenzo will impress visitors. Above all, the real jewel of the country is its natural environment. This tropical paradise is an absolute delight for nature lovers and hikers alike.
