About Panama

time is now

Panama is world-famous for its 48-mile canal that connects the Pacific Ocean with the Atlantic Ocean. Each year, over a million people visit the canal and are able to witness this engineering marvel at work. Panama is very proud to have this magnificent creation
operating 365 days a year, enabling the world’s cargo to be shipped efficiently and safely to new destinations.

Three million years ago, the Isthmus of Panama emerged from the sea and changed the world forever. It divided an ocean and joined two continents together, triggering one of the most important natural evolution events in the history of the world. Today, this narrow land bridge in Central America is home to more species of birds and trees than the whole of North America. We invite you to discover its beautiful landscapes, rich culture, and endless tourist activities, right at your fingertips.

Some of these activities include rainforest tours, surfing, snorkeling, diving, hiking, camping, bird watching, white water rafting, zip-line tours, and more. 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.

Live the Experiences

Panama’s identity is based on a sense of “geographic destiny”, match-making and pirates.

The Isthmus of Panama is far more interesting than once thought, it marks the watershed in oceanographic, climatic and evolutionary research. An ocean was separated and the Caribbean Sea was born.

Two continents –North and South America- were united and several natural and cultural transformations took place. The land bridge of Panama
nowadays connects people, culture, wildlife and oceans by land, air and sea.
