Discover Panama

Central America's hidden gem

This slender nation is famous above all for the canal with which it shares its name—but shipping logistics aside, this under-the-radar spot has much to offer. If you love the great outdoors, you shouldn't miss Soberanía National Park, beloved of birdwatchers and hikers, and the pristine San Blas Islands. Looking for an adrenaline kick? Whitewater rafting on the Chiriquí River is a sure-fire way to get your heart racing. Away from the natural world, head to Panama City to soak up its gleaming skyline—and the old-world charm of Casco Viejo.

Things to do in Panamá

Local cuisine

A blend of Spanish, Indigenous, and African influences, Panamanian cuisine is known for its hearty, well-spiced dishes. Try sancocho, a nourishing chicken stew, or patacones, aka crispy plantains. And for dessert? Tres leches cake is a classic choice.

Pristine nature

From the Altos de Campana national park to the untouched San Blas archipelago, Panama is a dream come true for nature lovers. Whether you're into hiking, birdwatching, or simply unwinding in the great outdoors, you'll find a slice of serenity here.

High-octane adventures

If you're all about the adrenaline rush, Panama has you covered: Go snorkeling with whale sharks, soar above the jungle on a zipline, or even take an ATV tour around an extinct volcano. Prefer something more urban? A helicopter tour of Panama City is a great way to enjoy the views while testing your head for heights.

Coastal delights

Bridging the Caribbean and Pacific Oceans, it's no surprise that Panama's beaches are a cut above. The Pacific coast is famed for its warm sands with lush greenery and plenty of wildlife, making it a popular haunt for divers and snorkelers, while the Caribbean coast is all about idyllic, secluded spots to watch the waves.
