Have a coffee with a Panamian View. The world’s most expensive cup of coffee comes from Panama!
Panama is often seen as a canal city, while that is true up to an extent, still Panama is much more than only canals.
Panama has a world-famous and mega-spectacular 48-mile canal that finally ends in the Pacific Ocean. Over a million persons, each month witness the engineering marvel live.
Panama feels rather proud that it does this 365-days operation and due to this many world’s cargoes are shipped efficiently and remarkably.
The city has some interesting history as it is said that Panama emerged from the Isthmus of Panama some 3-million years ago and changed the whole world. It divided an ocean! And joined 2 continents together!
These 2 phenomena lead to one of the most important things in the history of the universe. The narrow land today finally bridges in Central America and is home to some of the best endemic birds and trees.
Panama invites the traveler to see its rich natural landscape, amazing culture, endless tourism events, rainforest tours, surfing, snorkeling, diving, hiking, and camping.
Enjoy world-class dining, some of the best nightlife, casinos, and more.
As per Panama Officials, “Panama has attracted some of the world’s most famous brands to set up shop here, including Gucci, Prada, Cartier, Hermes, Nike, Ralph Lauren, Micheal Kors, Carolina Hererra, Chanel, and countless others.
Tourists from all over the world come to Panama and experience a modern, beautiful city with all the amenities one would expect from a world-famous business and tourism hub.”

Some other worth exploring destinations are
Panama Canal
Barro Colorado
Casco Antiguo
This was a quick travel guide for beginners who don’t know Panama, as an eye-opener.
Panama is becoming better and better for tourists. However, tourists are not becoming better by destroying nature, throwing plastic, and even behaving badly with Panama’s local tribal people, calling them illiterate and making fun even.
This is not recommended strongly and we must respect all cultures and thinkings.
Be an eco-responsible tourist and help in boosting Panama tourism to eco-tourism
Happy traveling
