Maps: Panama Maps
See the Panama Canal – one of man's greatest accomplishments and one of the Seven Wonders of the Word – from the viewing deck on the Miraflores Locks. Explore ancient Spanish forts, an Embera Indian Village or the ruins of the original 16th-century city, Casco Antiguo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Trek through the rainforest along the Camino de Cruces, the route used to transport gold from Portobelo during colonial times and see extraordinary birdlife along the way. Relax on beautiful beaches along 1,000 miles on coastline on both oceans and on 1,500 islands with hardly a soul in sight.
Panama's beaches and 5 million acres of national parks offer vacationers world-class birding, scuba diving, sportfishing, snorkeling, rafting, kayaking, historic tours, nature treks and hiking. Panama's claim to some of the best nature hiking in the Americas is supported by the country's over 920 recorded bird species (more than the US and Canada combined) and easily-seen exotic wildlife like monkeys, sloths, alligators and armadillos.
From high-energy thrills and energetic excursions to tranquil and romantic escapes, it's hard to have a dull day in Panama.
