Experience Panama

• Home to the one of the wonders of the world: the Panama Canal
• One of the best surfing spots in Central America with world-class surf breaks
• Enjoy spectacular ocean views while relaxing on gorgeous beaches
• Plenty of adventure awaits with hundreds of islands and islets to explore

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.

What to buy: Panamanian liquors are a source of pride for this Central American country. Seco Herrerano, a rum-like spirit made out of sugar cane juice makes a great add-in for a mixed drink while Chicha Fuerte, made from germinated corn, is fermented in earthenware vessels using indigenous techniques.
