Panama
Panama is often associated with the tremendous engineering work of the canal, operating for over a century and considered to be the eighth wonder of the world. Nevertheless, the country also has a fascinating historical past, which is palpable in the “Old Quarter”, the historical centre of Panama City, a true colonial jewel. The little town of Portobelo opens up towards the Caribbean Sea with its fortress ruins and cultural wealth. The Forts of San Lorenzo and Portobelo have been inscribed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. In the central area, the little town of Natá de los caballeros preserves a large church that evokes the period of the Spanish domination, and Parita whose little colonial centre revives memories of the glorious colonial past where the time seems to have stopped.
The country captivates and wins over visitors with its rich cultural heritage that stands out mainly in the central part and in the provinces of Los Santos, Herrera, Veraguas and Coclé with their traditions and folklore – the pride of their inhabitants.
Travellers will be amazed by the skill of craftsmen who create clay vases using traditional techniques passed down through the centuries, by the intricate paper mache works that produce stunning masks worn by the Diablicos Sucios during the Corpus Christi celebration, or by the craftsmanship involved in making the Pollera, the traditional Panamanian dress.
Furthermore, the ultimate jewel of Panama is undoubtedly its extraordinary biodiversity, thanks to its privileged position where the Americas converge. In fact, more than 35 % of the national territory is protected by national parks or natural reserves which preserve the habitat of 800 bird species, 200 mammals, 240 reptiles and more than 10,00 species of plants. Not to mention, the idyllic beaches spread across islands and gulfs both on the Caribbean coast and in the Pacific; some of them remain still unexplored, and others are famous worldwide among surfers in search of the perfect wave.
Not many people know, but Panama is home to a rich diversity of ethnographic cultures, including the Emberà-Wounaan and Ngöbe-Buglé communities. These groups are primarily settled in the provinces of Veraguas, Chiriquí, and Bocas del Toro.
