Panama

Think turquoise blue waters, cloud forests and coffee farms. Panama can be whatever you want it to be. Relax and chill here or sign yourself up for an adventure. Either way, Panama is a special country that links Central and South America by the Panama Canal. This is a famous feat of human engineering, which cuts through the centre of the country, therefore linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to create an essential shipping route.

This is one of the most open-minded, sophisticated, and progressive societies in Central America. It is one of the more expensive countries in the region, but the adventure-travel options, wildlife viewing opportunities and things to do here are fantastic. Don’t miss the remote archipelago of Bocas del Toro, located at the southern tip of Isla Colón, in the Caribbean Sea. This a popular holiday destination due to its beaches, coral reefs, unspoiled rainforests, epic surf breaks and chilled vibe.
