Even before the construction of its famous canal, Panama's strategic location made it one of the great crossroads of the world. Panama’s location, along with the construction of the canal, made for a strong North American influence in the countries culture. There is also a mix of Spanish, African and European culture in Panama. With this vast cultural mix, Panama is perhaps the most cosmopolitan country in Central America.
Panama’s cosmopolitan atmosphere is not what generally attracts people to the country. The countries extraordinary natural beauty is breathtaking. Bordering both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, there are miles of unspoiled beaches and coral reefs, perfect for relaxing or enjoying a swim.
If you choose to venture away from Panama’s coastline you will be treated to gorgeous wilderness and ecological diversity. Over half of the country is covered by rainforests. Panama also has many national parks and nature reserves you can explore.
One of the most beautiful beaches in Panama can be found at the Pearls of Contadora. The gorgeous white sand beaches and blue waters are surrounded by amazing vegetation. The Pearls of Contadora is truly a paradise island.
Another popular location in Panama is Panama City. Surprisingly modern and cosmopolitan, Panama City has spectacular restaurants, shops and activities. The city is also home to the famed Panama Canal.
While Panama may not be a top traveler’s destination yet, it most definitely will. You may want to visit now before Central America’s best kept secret is let out of the bag.
