Panama is a beautiful country with chilled Caribbean vibes, wonderful tropical islands and awesome outdoor activities. It is a country that offers lots of hiking routes with fantastic landscape, wildlife-watching opportunities, remote beaches that look like a perfect-paradise postcard, warm and friendly local people, and great cuisine!
While visiting Panama, we admired the coastline of Panama City and the Panama canal (one of the world’s greatest human-made marvels), enjoyed snorkeling around the coral reefs of Bocas del Toro, and had some relaxing time in San Blas Islands.

We had a wonderful time in Panama. It is so diverse and full of adventures, no wonder it became one of the hottest destinations in Latin America.
If you want to experience a country that offers a vibrant metropolis on the one hand and perfect tropical Islands on the other hand, then traveling to Panama is certainly a great choice for you!
