More About The Location
This S-shaped country is the southernmost country in Central America, bordered on the west by Costa Rica and on the east by Colombia. Although Panama is often overlooked by tourists rushing to South America, the country has some interesting attractions, including the Panama Canal that connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Panama also offers some of the finest birding, snorkeling, and deep-sea fishing in the Americas. In fact, the country's indigenous name translates to "abundance of fish."The country’s capital, Panama City, is a good base to see the many points of interest around the country. The city boasts the longest shopping street in the world, Old World charm and modern sky-scrapers. The old district of San Felipe (also known as Casco Antiguo or Casco Viejo) juts into the sea on the southwestern side of town. The cosmopolitan energy and festive Caribbean flair is evident. Moreover, a number of beaches are located 30 minutes to 1.5 hours from the capital.
