Caught between past and present, the colonial districts of the country’s pulsating capital are infused with a cosmopolitan vibe.
The Canal Zone
Apart from the 50-mile waterway that stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, you’ll find viewing platforms, national parks, and a botanical garden and zoo.
Chiriquí Highlands
Volcanoes, national parks, and coffee-scented hills are part of the magic of this mountainous, western region with its fresh, misty climate.
Bocas del Toro
Surf and swim near white sand beaches while absorbing the Caribbean attitudes and tropical rhythms that dominate this string of small islands near the Costa Rican border.
San Blas Islands
These cartoonish islands, home of the Kuna Indians, are graced with unspoiled reefs, uninhabited atolls, and crystal-clear Caribbean water.
The Daríen
The wild, lawless (and practically road-less) land bridge that connects Central and South America contains plants and animals from both continents in some of the world’s most pristine jungle.
The Pacific Coast
Resort-filled Pacific beaches such as Gorgona, Coronado, Kobbe, Punta Chame, Santa Clara, Playa Blanca, and Farallón, lay just steps from the Pan American highway.
