Descubre la rica historia, arte y tradiciones de Panama

Festivales y Eventos

Panama City is the center of everything. Visit the Miraflores Locks to understand the Canal, explore the history in the ruins of Panama La Vieja and the charm of the Old Town, and marvel at the modernity of its skyline and the Biomuseo.

The Caribbean coast offers two different experiences. The San Blas Archipelago (Guna Yala) is an unspoiled paradise of indigenous culture and natural beauty. Bocas del Toro, on the other hand, offers a more bohemian and festive atmosphere, ideal for surfers, backpackers and lovers of starfish beaches.

Escape the heat in the mountains of Chiriquí. Boquete is the base for hiking, such as climbing the Barú Volcano (the highest point in the country), coffee tours, quetzal spotting, and enjoying spring-like weather.

Transit through the Panama Canal

Whether on a tourist boat that crosses the locks or visiting the Miraflores Visitor Center to see the enormous ships passing by just a few meters away, witnessing the operation of this engineering marvel is the quintessential Panamanian experience. It's a lesson in history, ingenuity, and global commerce in real time.

Get lost in the streets of the Old Town

This historic neighborhood, declared a World Heritage Site, is the soul of Panama City. Walking through its cobblestone streets is to discover charming squares, centuries-old churches, restored colonial buildings, and an incredible range of cafes, rooftop bars with spectacular views and haute cuisine restaurants.

Sail through the San Blas Archipelago

Escape to an earthly paradise in the autonomous territory of the Guna Yala region. It consists of sailing by sailboat or boat among hundreds of islands with white sand and palm trees, snorkeling in crystal clear waters and learning about the fascinating culture of the Guna people, who manage and protect this corner of the Caribbean.

Take a Coffee Route in Boquete

In the cool highlands of Chiriquí, one of the finest (and most expensive) coffees in the world, Geisha, is grown. Taking a tour of a coffee farm allows you to learn about the entire process, from cherry picking to the final tasting, all in an environment of lush natural beauty.

Visit an Embera Village

Enter the jungle for an authentic cultural immersion. It consists of a canoe trip along the Chagres River to reach a community of the Emberá people. There, they will welcome you with traditional dances, show you their crafts and share with you their way of life in harmony with nature.

Observe Wildlife in Gamboa

Just a short drive from the city, Soberanía National Park is a paradise for bird and wildlife watching. Ride the gondola at Gamboa Rainforest Reserve for a panoramic view of the rainforest and Canal, or take a boat tour of Gatun Lake to see monkeys, crocodiles and sloths in their natural habitat.

Consejos de Culture & Heritage

Currency

The official currency is the Balboa (PAB), but in practice it does not exist in banknotes. The United States Dollar (USD) is the legal tender and is used for all transactions. The balboa only exists in coins, which have the same value and size as US coins.

Transport

In Panama City, the metro and VTC services like Uber are efficient. To get around the country, there is a good bus network. The most striking buses are the 'Red Devils', former US school buses, although they are being replaced by a more modern fleet.

Climate

Panama has a tropical climate. It is hot and humid all year round. Wear light, breathable clothing. Don't forget a raincoat or umbrella, especially during the rainy season (May to December), as downpours can be intense but brief.
