Panama Travel Guide

Edit Section - Panama Travel Guide - Hotels & Restaurants

Roughly the same area as North Carolina, with a population of 3 million, Panama has plenty of wide open spaces. It's a country of intersections -- American engineering meets Central American jungle and lack of organization; laid back Caribbean culture meets the banks and commerce of Panama City; indigenous people meet and mingle with the decenedants of Europeans and Africans; the warm and shallow Caribbean Sea almost touches the cold and turbulent Pacific, miles of diverse beaches are separated by jungle-covered mountains in the middle.

Panama City could be anywhere, really --it's noisy and packed with cars and litter. The streets don't make much sense. Full of skyscraping condominiums, universities, internet cafes, restaurants and banks, it's a fully modern city with a few great tourist spots. Outside of the city, you'll find an incredibly diverse variety of towns large and small, populated by people of every shade.
