Adventures Panama / Aventuras Panama
July 26, 2010
Panama is a paradise for the adventure traveler with almost one third of the country still covered with virgin rainforest. Just reaching a destination becomes part of the adventure. The Spanish used Panama as a base for conquering the New World. They left behind ruins that today transport the visitor back to a time when pirates roamed the oceans. The isthmus serves as a connector between North and South America, which explains in part its huge biodiversity. The narrowness of the country also allows the visitor to go back and forth between the Atlantic/Caribbean and Pacific Oceans in just a couple of hours! There are three distinct indigenous cultures. And yes, you will also have an opportunity to see the “big ditch,” better known as the Panama Canal, one of the eight wonders of the world. But the best part is that Panama is still an unknown destination. Even though Panama City is a bustling international business and banking center hosting thousands of visitors, very... Read More →
