A compact country, an enormous variety
Panama packs very different landscapes into a small area: cloud forests and volcanoes in Chiriquí, white-sand islands in Guna Yala, the canal that joins two oceans and the colonial streets of Casco Viejo. Here you'll find the must-see destinations, with the practical info to visit them on your own.
What each guide includes
Every destination comes with the essentials to plan your visit: how to get there, the best time to go, what to bring and what to expect along the way.
Choose your adventure
Mountains and hiking
The west of the country is your zone if you like to hike: waterfalls like San Ramón or Las Tres Cascadas in Boquete, and the summit of Volcán Barú, the highest point in Panama.
Coast and beaches
In the Caribbean, the San Blas Islands, Red Frog Beach and Isla Bastimentos await with turquoise waters and palm trees. In the city, the Amador Causeway looks out over Panama Bay.
History and culture
Casco Viejo and the Panama Canal tell the country's story, and the Emberá Querá community opens the doors to its living culture.
