A place called Panama ....
In indigenous dialect: abundance of fishes and butterflies, and considered by many "Bridge of the World, Heart of the Universe".
We are the most beautiful, interesting and varied 75,517 Km2 of Central America, with an exuberant landscape beauty, Panamá represents the most desired destinations of the American Continent.
Without any restrictions to potential visitors, Panama offers a little bit of everything and is able to fully satisfy all the needs and requirements of travelers. Due to its excellent geographical position it is influenced by multiple cultures, favoring its gastronomy, social, cultural life and night activities. It is the favorite place to combine culture and adventure, business and pleasure, or just escape to a little explored corner and enjoy its tranquility there.
There are almost 4 millions souls who take pride of their land, an isthmus bathed by two seas where the sky is clearer and the sun britghter*, an isthmus that can boast of having breakfast at the Pacific an enjoy a delicious lunch in the Caribbean; an Isthmus that presumes to be able to see the mountains, the immense ocean from some of its beaches and the modern things about its city, all in one day.
It is a warm place with breeze in summer and that flowers when winter arrives, a colorful place full of fairs and folkloric festivals, some with religious roots, others originated by ingrained customs over many years; it has mountains and fertile valleys, rivers, streams and fascinating waterfalls. Its flora and fauna are also unique, that is said by its well-known Golden Frog and the splendid "Flor del Espíritu Santo" (Flower of the Holy Spirit), its national flower.
Panama is the land that raises its noble and proud brow, a piece of free America prepared for its great future**. Its cosmopolitan capital filled with lights, buildings, casinos and shopping centers still retains the ruins of its past, a past that grew up in flames and narrated stories of pirates, an obstinate past and determined not to be forgotten, that rose and today shows its 3 faces.
Panama is a land of contrasts, a land of joy, blessed land; their varied and sweet fruits, the fruit of their soil, and the fruit of their seas, give flavor to their meals. The grace of its people, the sound of its music and the rhythm of its dances give flavor to their life. Panama is home of the best coffe in the world and home to a majestic Canal.
Panama is all this, all this and much more !!
