The tourism board says, "Panama is not the destination, but the journey to discover more of what truly matters." So be ready to take on this journey to explore the deep blue waters, rich culture, and history with a trip to Panama. The capital city, Panama City, is the most visited destination in the country. It showcases its visitors the perfect blend of traditional and modern architecture. Known for Panama Canal, an artificial waterway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, this is a proud feather added to the country's hat. With over 9,00,000 ships sailing over the canal, this engineering marvel has fascinated travelers for years and continues to do so. The city is a modern oasis with soaring skyscrapers as a symbol of the country's progress over the years, complimenting the fascinating colonial buildings honoring the past. Apart from visiting the engineering marvel, the Panama Canal, it would be best if you also visited the historic quarter of the city- Casco Viejo, dotted with ancient churches, colorful houses, and plazas standing as a witness to the country's colonial past. Yes, Panama has a rich history, but it also boasts unspoiled natural beauty. The archipelago of Bocas del Toro and San Bas Islands offer a paradise with turquoise waters, pristine beaches, captivating marine life, and beautiful mangroves. With playful dolphins, opportunities to snorkel and scuba dive and explore the thriving coral reefs, to simply unwinding at the beaches under the shadows of swaying palm trees, the islands welcome you with arms wide open. If you wish to do something unique, you can visit the indigenous Kuna people at San Blas Islands and delve into their rich culture, sail into their dugout canoe, and sample their local seafood, later dancing to the beats of their traditional music. Apart from the mesmerizing island life, Panama offers a lively highland life, with Boquete and El Valle de Anton topping the list. Here the temperatures are cooler, and the landscapes drastically change to lush green coffee fields and lush green mountains. Inhale the freshness of freshly brewed coffee with a visit to the coffee plantation in Boquete, where the first-ever coffee plants had arrived in Panama. Check out the country's finest exports, and bring back some as souvenirs for your coffee-lover friends. For outdoor enthusiasts, hiking on La India Dormida Trail, a popular sunrise point in El Valle de Anton, or cloud forests, home to species of exotic birds and cascading waterfalls, are great ideas. Adrenaline Seekers can also trek to Baru Volcano, the 12th highest peak in Central America, and enjoy stunning views of the Pacific coastline as well as the mountains around. Panama's natural beauty and list of adventures don't end here! With its abundance of nature, watersports, history, and culture, everything comes full circle at the Charges National Park. Apart from enjoying watersports like kayaking, river rafting, or even fishing, you must visit the Embera community on a canoe in the park.
