You might be most familiar with this county's incredible canal, but Panama has so much more to offer. Surrounded by two different oceans on both coasts, you can expect all the delights of a tropical vacation, from beautiful beaches to the lush rainforest and incredible surfing opportunities. Nature lovers won't want to miss the captivating journey of turtles emerging from the sea to lay their eggs in the Azuero Peninsula sand or watching humpback whales leap out of the water during their migration. Surfers can hang-ten at popular spots such as the islands of Bocas Del Toro with its steep drops and large tunnels, or the sandy bottomed sites of Malibu Beach. Foodies should definitely stop by Panama City's Fish Market, where on-site restaurants serve up incredibly fresh ceviche.
You will visit the following 3 places:
Panama
Panama officially the Republic of Panama, is known as the "Crossroads of the Americas" due to its privileged position between North and South America. It has the second largest economy in Central America and is also the fastest growing economy and largest per capita consumer in Central America. The ease of travel and wide array of experiences make Panama one of the most attractive emerging tourism destinations in the world. In just one week, visitors can enjoy two different oceans, experience the mountains and rainforest, learn about native cultures and take advantage of vibrant urban life. It's significant capital, Panama City, is a modern, sophisticated metropolis that resembles Miami and has established commerce, arts, fashion and dining.
Gamboa
Gamboa is a small town in the Republic of Panama. It was one of a handful of permanent Canal Zone townships, built to house employees of the Panama Canal and their dependents. The name 'Gamboa' is the name of a tree of the quince family. Gamboa is home to caymans, crocodiles, iguanas, and several hundred bird species. Given its location at the "end of the road" and the single road connecting it to the rest of the Canal Zone, Gamboa is also adjacent to significant tracts of relatively undisturbed rainforest. A trail that follows an old pipeline ("Pipeline Road") is considered one of the best birding hikes in Panama. It is one of the premiere bird watching sites in all of Central America. Many amateur birdwatchers join ornithologists for yearly bird counts held near Gamboa by the Audubon Society of Panama.
