Panama

Panama, still the best kept secret! Panama is located in Central America, with coastlines on either side, the Caribbean Sea and the North Pacific Ocean, with Colombia (and South America) to the southeast and Costa Rica (and North America) in the northwest. It is strategically located and forms a land bridge connecting North and South America. It is known for the Panama Canal, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. But Panama is much more than a canal. This narrow land bridge in Central America has beautiful landscapes, a rich culture and endless tourist activities. Activities such as rainforest tours, surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking, bird watching and more. Panama has more species of birds and trees than all of North America.

Panama has a tropical maritime climate with a warm, humid rainy season (May to December) and a short dry season (January to May). Temperatures are mainly determined by altitude. In the highlands of Central Panama and Chiríqui there is always a spring climate. The slopes on the Caribbean side usually receive more rainfall than the slopes on the Pacific side. The rainy season usually means: a sudden big shower and it is dry again.
